On behalf of the Muscular Dystrophy Assn. and the many families we
serve, I would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the Burbank, Glendale
and Pasadena firefighters who raised $2,000 in a recent "Fill the Boot"
drive for MDA.
On Aug. 25 and 26, they volunteered to stand at a Pasadena
intersection and fill their boots with contributions from passersby.
MDA relies on the efforts of dedicated people such as these amazing
firefighters, and on the contributions of the kindhearted, such as those
who helped fill the firefighters' boots with donations. Because of this
type of community support, MDA is able to provide local families with
services such as clinics and support groups, as well as money for
wheelchairs. Furthermore, we are able to send dozens of local children to
MDA Summer Camp every year, as well as further the research being done to
find treatments and a cure for neuromuscular disease.
MDA thanks everyone who participated in the recent "Fill the Boot"
drive for their inspiring generosity.
