'If you come to a boot in the road, fill it up!'

GREENDALE — As the old adage goes, "if you come to a boot in the road, fill it up!"

Members of the Greendale Fire Fighters Local 1777, along with the Muscular Dystrophy Association, will celebrate their 62-year partnership and kick off the fire fighters'

More than 15 members of Greendale Firefighters Local 1777 will be on 76th Street and Grange with boots in hand for this year’s annual Fill the Boot fundraising campaign to benefit children and adults affected by muscle disease throughout Southern, WI.

The campaign kicked off on Tuesday, May 24th and continues on Thursday, May 26th from 2:00-7:00 PM.

“Throughout 2016 MDA and fire fighters are celebrating 62 years of proud partnership, joined together in the fight against life-threatening muscle disease, said MDA Director Of Business Development, Elizabeth Wagler.

“Fire fighters in Southern WI do more for MDA and the families we serve than any other group, dedicating countless hours of their time every year participating in Fill the Boot drives and at MDA Summer Camp. We're grateful for the support of these inspiring, selfless individuals who have made a profound impact on our families’ health, well-being and quality of life, and we're excited to make this year’s Greendale Fill the Boot campaign the most successful yet.”
