Since 1954, firefighters across the country have collected
critical funds as part of the Fill the Boot program to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). The partnership between MDA and the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) began when the IAFF signed a proclamation designating MDA as its charity of choice. The dollars raised through Fill the Boot fund
MDAs mission of empowering people living with neuromuscular disease to achieve their potential.
Members of the Cherokee Village Fire Department and Volunteer Auxiliary have participated in this annual fundraising campaign for more than 30 years. Efforts will continue to raise awareness and funds to ensure that effective
treatments and therapies are found for people living with muscular dystrophy, ALS, and related neuromuscular diseases.
On Monday, September 2nd, firefighters will once again be stationed at near City Hall at Santee Drive, in front of Carol’s Lakeview, and at Casey’s. Find them there and let’s exceed last year’s figure…drop by and donate!
