FILL THE BOOT: Brunswick Co. firefighters to raise money for MDA
BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — Fire departments in Brunswick County will unite for their annual Fill the Boot fundraising campaign this weekend to support the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Yaupon Beach Fire Department, Southport Fire Department, and Tri-Beach Volunteer Fire Department are going to raise money that will help kids and adults with muscular dystrophy, ALS and related muscle-debilitating diseases live longer and grow stronger.
The money raised will also help send more than 70 local kids to “the best week of the year” at MDA summer camp at Victory Junction all at no cost to their families.
Continuing a more than 60 year tradition, firefighters will hit the streets or storefronts with boots in hand asking pedestrians, motorists, customers and other passersby to make a donation to MDA on:
- Friday, May 25th from 10:30 am- 3:00 pm at Walgreens on 1138 Sabbath Home Rd, Holden Beach with the Tri-Beach Volunteer Fire Department
- Saturday, May 26th from 10:30 am-3:00pm at the Southport Fire Department on Howe Street and the Wal-Mart intersection in Southport
- Monday, May 28th from 10:30 am-3:00 pm at the intersection of Airport and Fish Factory Road in Southport and the Yaupon Beach Fire Station on Caswell Beach RD
“The dedication of these firefighters to MDA’s mission is unwavering, spending countless hours both with Fill the Boot and MDA Summer Camp to care for the kids and adults in Brunswick County. We know that their devotion to our families will make this year’s drive a success,” said Fundraising Coordinator, Katherine Fullwood.
