It's that time of the year again when our Fire Fighters volunteer their time to go out and stand on a
busy intersection corner with their boot out for donations. Thousands of volunteers are out nation wide helping to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. These lifesaving heroes have also fought to save the lives of those with neuromuscular diseases since 1954. In addition to campaigns like Fill-the-Boot, thousands of fire fighters nationwide volunteer their personal time at MDA summer camp. This is the perfect time to bring your family by and show them our support and appreciation.
