A heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out to support our 2025 Fill the Boot fundraiser benefiting the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Thanks to your generosity, we raised more than $7,000 in just four hours!
We’d also like to give a special shoutout to Kay's Restaurant and owner Dave Lahousse for providing lunch to our members while they worked the event. Your kindness and continued support mean so much.
We are grateful for your support. International Association of Fire Fighters Muscular Dystrophy Association
