A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO DECLARE THE WEEK OF FEBRUARY 6-12, 2005, AS BURN AWARENESS WEEK IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND TO COMMEND THE SHRINERS OF NORTH AMERICA FOR PROMOTING BURN SAFETY AND AWARENESS.

Whereas, severe burn injuries are a leading cause of deaths and injuries in North America, especially among young children; and

Whereas, every year more than two million people suffer burn injuries of some kind, and more than one of every three burn victims are children; and

Whereas, the Shriners of North America operates four Shriners Hospitals that provide medical care totally free of charge to severely burned children; and

Whereas, the Shriners of North America and Shriners Hospitals join with other burn facilities across the nation in recognizing the seriousness of this hazard and the urgent need to educate the public about burn prevention and fire safety; and

Whereas, it is fitting and appropriate to acknowledge the contributions of the Shriners of North America and to commend the Shriners for their continued support and care for young burn victims. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, declare the week of February 6-12, 2005, as Burn Awareness Week in South Carolina and commend the Shriners of North America for promoting burn safety and awareness.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Shriners of North America.
