Help Corpus Christi firefighters battle muscular dystrophy with Fill the Boot donation

CORPUS CHRISTI Corpus Christi firefighters will team up to help raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association as part of its annual Fill the Boot campaign.

The firefighters will be at intersections across the city for the next three Fridays, asking motorists for donations.

Every dollar helps the Local No. 936 firefighters group provide medical treatment and support services to individuals and their families living with neuromuscular diseases in the Corpus Christi area, according to a news release.

The International Association of Firefighters has been a national MDA partner for more than 50 years.

We know the money we raise definitely makes a difference in the lives of people affected by neuromuscular diseases, and that it helps them get the care they need, said Carlos Torres local chapter president. Fill the Boot is a proud tradition for us, and its a great way for firefighters to be out in the community reminding residents that we are here, always ready to help.

Some of the intersections firefighters will be stationed at each Friday are: Holly and Airline roads; Weber and Saratoga roads; and Leopard Street and Navigation Boulevard.
