Pacifica Fill the Boot for MDA

Firefighters from the Pacifica Fire Department will be generously volunteering  their time for the annual Muscular Dystrophy Association Fill the Boot event at the intersection of Oceana and Manor from 8:30am to 10:30am and again at Linda Mar Blvd, between Hwy 1 and DeSolo from 2:00pm- 6:00pm on Friday, June 18th, 2012. They will be asking motorists and pedestrians alike to drop money in their boots to support MDA's Bay Area children and families.

The International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) has been one of MDA's longest running partners in the fight against muscle disease. The Pacifica Fire Department, as part of San Mateo Fire Department, takes part in a county-wide effort to raise thousands of dollars this year for the vital health care services MDA provides to Bay Area families affected by muscle disease. The San Mateo County Fire Department raised $44,000 for MDA in 2011, and of that amount the Pacifica Fire Department raised $5,155 for MDA.
