Pasco Tax Collector Raises $2,800 For Firefighters Charities
Tax Collector's offices have served as donation sites for those who want to support the MDA Boot Drive.
PASCO COUNTY, FL — During the month of September, the five Pasco County Tax Collector Offices accepted donations on behalf of the Firefighters Charities of Pasco’s Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Boot Drive.
Traditionally, over the past six decades, firefighters have stood on street corners, fire boot in hand, to collect donations from cars passing by. Breaking with tradition, the Pasco County Tax Collector’s offices have served as donation sites for those who want to support this worthy cause. 2021 is the second year the Pasco County Tax Collector’s office has participated in this charitable giving drive.
“Last year our generous customers donated over $2,000 to the Firefighters Charities of Pasco’s efforts to raise money to fight this disease,” said Tax Collector Mike Fasano. “This year our staff and customers raised over $2,800 to help the MDA fund its 150 research projects around the world. Thank you to everyone who stopped by one of our offices to donate in support of this great cause.”
