Our mission is clear: Support Survivors Beyond the Burn. We work to ensure every survivor—child, veteran, first responder, or civilian—receives the best treatment and the strongest support network available.
Severe burns are among the most painful and life-altering injuries a person can endure, yet burn care remains an often-overlooked field in modern medicine. Burn survivors face prolonged hospital stays, complex reconstructive surgeries, and lifelong physical and emotional challenges. Despite medical advancements, there is a critical gap in specialized training, research funding, and comprehensive support for burn survivors.
One major challenge is the shortage of dedicated burn surgeons and researchers. Burn care is a highly specialized field, yet fewer doctors are choosing it as a career path due to limited funding, research opportunities, and available training programs. Without a new generation of skilled burn specialists, innovation in treatment slows, and patient outcomes suffer.
Additionally, burn survivors often struggle to access the best possible care. Many lack financial resources for advanced treatments, reconstructive procedures, or long-term rehabilitation. Emotional recovery is another major hurdle, as survivors frequently experience PTS, depression, and social isolation due to their injuries.
Sons of the Flag exists to bridge these gaps. Through funding medical research, supporting burn fellowships, and providing direct assistance to survivors, we are revolutionizing burn care and giving hope to those who need it most. By investing in cutting-edge treatment, training future burn surgeons, and standing beside survivors on their journey to recovery, we are working toward a future where no burn survivor is left behind.
Medical Fellowships – We’re increasing the number of burn surgeons in the U.S. to meet the needs of more than 100,000 individuals burned each year by providing yearly fellows the ability to pursue Trauma Burn Care. A rapidly dwindling field of study!
Burn Unit Support – It’s a common discrepancy that hospitals get everything they want and need to support their patients but, its non-profits like ours that build relationships with the first responders and staff to ensure they’re offering the best to survivors.
Direct Survivor Support -It’s humbling to come alongside survivors offering personalized, impactful, and timely support to offload stress in a difficult season. We allocate program funds to cover expenses for items like travel to/from procedures, burn garments and bandages, etc. Burn wound care is a long and expensive process, even for those with insurance as many items are not covered.
YOU make it possible for us to continue to Supporting Survivors Beyond the Burn!
