The Corona Firefighters Association waited tables at their local Chili's to raise money for the Burn Institute - Inland Empire. Any customer that handed in a flier to their waiter received 10% of their meal cost from Chili's. White envelopes were also provided for customers who wanted to leave a tip above and beyond what they usually would, and that money would go to the Burn Institute - Inland Empire.

"The Corona Firefighters Association will actually wait tables and bus tables and help out with the customers," says Gary Stansberry, the Executive Director of Burn Institute - Inland Empire.

The customers enjoy having the firefighters serve them, as well. "We always have a great time here. It's nice to play around with the firemen, give them a hard time. They're very sociable," the Project Manager of Har-Bro, Dennis Cool, says.

The $1200 that was raised for the Burn Institute was used to fund Camp Beyond the Scars, a week long camp for burn injured children. It is used to help children heal from the psychological effects of a burn injury.
