What can one person do for ABC?
One person can make a huge difference to the Atlantic Burn Camp and Dan Chiasson of the Baddeck VFD is just that person. Back in 2014 Dan took it upon himself to spearhead a fundraising campaign; with the help of the participating Volunteer Fire Department have now raised $32,506.85 over the past eight years. This is a significant help to ABC, as all the money is committed to assuring that the young burn survivors are able to attend the week long camp in New Campbellton, Cape Breton at no cost to their families.
