Getting Help from ACBC

If you or someone in your community needs assistance after suffering a fire tragedy, contact ACBC at the Akron Children's Paul and Carol David Foundation Burn Institute at 330-543-8813.

Your case will be taken to the ACBC board, which includes volunteer representatives from area fire stations, recycling company Metalico Annaco and staff from Akron Children’s. This can usually be done very quickly.

ACBC Summer Camp

ACBC holds an annual summer camp for young burn survivors who have been treated at Akron Children's burn center.

Located at Camp Y Noah in Clinton, they enjoy fun activities while the burn center staff and ACBC board members look after their safety and medical needs. Camp activities include swimming, field trips and Fire Truck Day, when fire departments from the area bring their trucks to camp.
