The John Kalynych Foundation presented a check for $1,020 to the Burn Prevention Network in Allentown in support of its Camp Susquehanna program. This program supports youth ages 7-21 who have suffered serious burn injuries.
The program is available online year-round as well as a four-day camp experience at Camp Westmont in Susquehanna County.
The John Kalynych Foundation was begun as a memorial to John Kalynych, a firefighter, hazardous materials and rescue first responder for more than 30 years.
Kalynych died from a heart attack while responding to a fire call Sept. 28, 2023.
The John Kalynych Foundation is dedicated to raising the funds to support training opportunities for first responders.
