Local 1775 members will participate in the annual "Fill The Boot" fundraiser for the Muscuular Dystrophy Association May 1, 2011.  This is one of our most important public outreach activities, and 1775 firefighters have helped us raise tens of thousands of dollars each year for "Jerry's Kids."

In 2009 $ 31,000 was raised; In 2010 $ 21,000 was raised; In 2011 we believe we can raise $40,000 or more if we get at 60 members to participate.  It only takes 6 hours of your time.
