Community members praise annual Burn Foundation spaghetti dinner in Torrance

Residents and volunteers described the Burn Foundation's annual spaghetti dinner in Torrance as well-attended and valuable for the community and first responders. Speakers said the event, which includes a bake sale run by spouses of the organizers, raised money to send children who survived burn incidents to Champ Camp in Ojai, California. Attendees said the dinner typically draws about 1,000 people each year and that this year was especially crowded. Several commenters thanked firefighters and first responders for their service and praised the foundation's organization. One speaker said the dinner is 'important for many reasons', including showing support for 'our brave men and women that protect our community'; another said the community is 'blessed' to have the turnout. No formal actions, motions, or policy decisions were recorded during these remarks.
