The boot has been filled and the dollars counted.
In a check presentation this morning, the Bowling Green Fire Department revealed $20,466.08 were raised during this year’s Fill the Boot fundraiser benefiting the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
“We’ve been partnering with the fire departments for a long time,” Kelly Markert, the Development Coordinator for MDA says. “They’re a great partnership with us and been filling the boot for over 60 years. We’ve been working with the Bowling Green for over 10 years, so they’ve raised a significant amount of funds for us and we’re just super grateful for this partnership.”
Labor Day weekend, firefighters braved the heat to stand storefront at Walmart and ask for your donations.
