Lafayette Fire Fighters and Local 619 Fill the Boot to Raise Critical Funds for Local MDA Families.
Members of the Lafayette Fire Department and Professional Fire Fighters
Association Local 619 will fan out across Lafayette with boots in hand,
asking pedestrians, motorists, customers and other passersby to make a
donation to the Muscular Dystrophy Association for the fire fighters’ annual
Fill the Boot fundraising campaign.
WHERE: Intersections across Lafayette
WHEN:  April 20
9:00 am- 12:00 noon
WHY: For 65 years, fire fighters have stood on the front lines to help MDA raise
critical funds to help transform the lives of kids and adults with muscular
dystrophy, ALS and related muscle-debilitating diseases.
Funds raised through 2019 Lafayette Fill the Boot drives help the MDA save
lives and lift those up in need, by providing the MDA with vital resources and
support, including state-of-the-art support groups and Care Centers.
They also help give more than 100 local kids the opportunity to experience
the best week of the year where anything is possible at MDA Summer Camp
at no cost to their families at Camp Starlite.
