Why Shriners Hospitals for Children - Galveston? Since the 1960s, Shriners has pioneered some of the
most significant advancements in burn care. The hospital provides highly specialized acute,
reconstructive and rehabilitative care for children with burns and other soft tissue conditions, regardless
of a family's ability to pay. Its efforts have doubled the survival rate for children with burns over more
than 50 percent of their body surface. Today, patients with burns over 90 percent of their bodies can
survive, and go on to lead full, productive lives.

After visiting the hospital for the check presentation, TSSA Board President and owner of Ideal Self
Storage in Waco, TX, Chris Martin said, “These kids have had a seemingly insurmountable obstacle in
their lives, and I can't think of a more noble cause than to help contribute to their road to recovery.”

“Touring this hospital is like no other experience. You go in thinking that you'll see children who have
been terribly injured and wonder if you'll be too emotional,” says TSSA Executive Director Ginny Sutton.
“The reality is that there are so many advancements being made with technology and new therapies, and
everyone is so positive, including the children and their families, that it immediately grounds you. This is
a place of incredible healing and research. What the hospital can do with the money we raise just comes
to life before your eyes. It drives home what a privilege this partnership is for TSSA.”

2019 fundraising efforts are underway, which will culminate October 14-16 at the TSSA Big Ideas in
Storage conference in The Woodlands, TX. More information at www.txssa.org.
