The D.C. Firefighters Burn Foundation celebrated its 5th anniversary in September of 2009. On January 4, 2010 we hosted an awards dinner aboard the Odyssey to recognize all of those who have played a role in making this organization a success. We presented several awards to businesses, individual donors, and organizations that have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars over five years. The foundation also recognized Jimmy DiGregory, Dave Keefe, Steve Fennell, Jimmy Griest and Butch Oliff for 5 years of dedicated service to the foundation. 

 
Since 2004 the D.C. Firefighters Burn Foundation has donated over $552,000 to The Burn Center at Washington Hospital Center, Children’s National Medical Center, and our Children’s Burn Camp program. This does not include the thousands of dollars spent on hotel rooms, food, and transportation for the families of injured firefighters. 
 
We would like to thank all of the sponsors who played a part in making this night a success. We also need to say thank you to the Odyssey for providing a wonderful evening filled with music, dinner, dancing, and great company. And of course thank you to the members of the Emerald Society Pipes and Drums for a great opening performance and numerous laughs on the dance floor.
