MFD HELPS THE MDA & JERRY'S KIDS

Milwaukee Fire Departments helps kick-off the Muscular Dystrophy Association's Fill-The-Boot Month

The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) in conjunction with the International Association of Firefighters and non-union firefighters announced the beginning of the "Fill-the-Boot" campaign on Tuesday, July 29 at Engine #2.  Milwaukee area firefighters, govenment officials, including Mayor Tom Barrett, and MDA client families were on hand to kickoff the campaign and procliam August as MDA Firefighter Fill-the-Boot Month.

MDA' Fill-the-Boot program is supported by both the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) and non-union fire departments across North America.  This simple, street-side collection campaign allows America's most admired heroes - firefighters - to raise funds for MDA and demonstrates their commitment to the local community as they receive contributions from commuting motorists.  Last year, Milwaukee area firefighters raised more than $155,000 to support MDA.  Since it started this campaign over 50 years ago, the IAFF has contributed nearly $300 millon - all to benefit Jerry's kids.

MDA is a voluntary health agency working to defeat more than 40 neuromuscular diseases through programs of worldwide reseach, comprehensive services and far-reaching professional and public health eduction.  For more information about MDA activities and services in Wisconsin, please call 800/572-1717.
