The Muscular Dystrophy Association is launching its annual Fill-the-Boot fundraiser in Seattle and on August 7th and 8th, from 2 p.m.to 6 p.m. Seattle Firefighters will stand on 30 street corners throughout the city raising money for adults and children affected by the neuromuscular disease.

In West Seattle you will find them at four locations:

• Delridge Way SW/ SW Orchard St
• California Av SW / SW Admiral Way
• California Av SW / Fauntleroy Way SW
• California Av SW / SW Alaska St

Last year, Seattle Firefighters raised $120,000. For the 8th year in a row, Seattle was the top department in the state for MDA fundraising.

Fill-the-Boot began in 1953 when two Boston Firefighters wanted to help “Jerry’s Kids” so they grabbed their boots and went into the community to raise donations.

88% of every dollar raised in King County goes directly to patient services and stays here locally.

Seattle Firefighters are authorized to participate in the fundraiser while on-duty per Seattle City Council Resolution 31078 signed by former Mayor Greg Nickels and former City Council President Nick Licata recognizing that, “the Seattle Firefighters and the MDA’s annual fundraiser Fill the Boot is a service that benefits and improves the City of Seattle and quality of life for Seattle Citizens.”
