04-21-16 Firefighters Kick Off MDA "Fill The Boot" Fundraiser


The first donations were made by City Councilman Chip Henderson, Fire Chief Chris Adams, Captain Keith Liles and Jack Thompson, president of the Chattanooga Firefighters Association, Local 820. Firefighters from all 19 fire stations then fanned out at pre-designated locations throughout the city to collect donations.

The firefighters were out collecting donations today, and will resume Friday and Saturday, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at locations throughout the city. "For more than 60 years, firefighters have stood on the front lines for MDA, striving to make a difference in the lives of those affected by this muscle disease. Muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other related life-threatening diseases take away people's ability to walk, move, smile, talk and even breathe. The funds raised through this event support MDA's life-enhancing programs such as state-of-the-art clinics and research efforts. The donations also make MDA summer camps possible for kids stricken with this terrible disease," MDA organizers said.

The Chattanooga Fire Department finished first in the state last year, raising $80,500 for MDA. The department's goal this year is to raise $100,000 for MDA. The Chattanooga Fire Fighters Association, Local 820 is also a major sponsor of this event.
