Members of the Westfield Fire Department will kick off the firefighters’ annual Fill the Boot fundraising campaign for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) to help save and improve the lives of people fighting muscle disease in the Hamilton County area.
Uniformed members will be out from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. today and tomorrow at Walmart and both Westfield Kroger stores. They will also be at Grand Park parking lot E.
Dollars raised help support MDA’s life-enhancing programs such as state-of-the-art support groups and clinics, including the MDA Clinic at Riley Children’s Hospital and IU Neuroscience Center in downtown Indianapolis. They also make MDA summer camp possible so kids with muscle disease can enjoy “the best week of the year” at Bradford Woods in Martinsville and nearly 80 other locations nationwide.
