IAFF Local 78 has partnered with the MDA Fill the Boot Foundation to raise funds for individuals who suffer from Muscular Dystrophy and ALS. All funds raised will be sent to the foundation to assist those who suffer from these medical issues. For the remaining days of July and all of August, you can find donation boots at Sobel's Obscure Brewery and Candy's Corner Deli. Both of these businesses have generously offered to be donation locations for this great cause. Members also plan on hosting several boot drives with the first being Saturday July 29th. Members can be found throughout the day at the intersection of N 4th St and Harrison Ave along with Chambers Ave and Brown Ave. Donations will also be accepted at the Fire House, 110 S 2nd St.
The MDA Foundation saves lives everyday which is made possible by donations from generous people like you. If you see our donation boots and our members during the boot drives, consider helping save a life by donating.
