MDA FILL THE BOOT

 

Thursday, June 9, 2011 9:02 am More than a dozen Crest Forest Fire firefighters and their friends and family members helped "Fill the Boot" with cash for the Muscular Dystrophy Association last Friday and Saturday.

From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on both days, the group converged on Lake Drive in Crestline and on Highway 189 in Blue Jay with their boots and collected $16,000.

"People were really generous. Some people that didn't have the nicest cars were putting in $20. It was an amazing thing to see," Crest Forest Fire's Captain Steve Hale said.

This is the second annual Fill the Boot fund-raiser Crest Forest Fire has done. "We were excited," Capt. Hale said. "Last year we did one day and collected just over $9,000."

Hale said last year a Lake Arrowhead man and his son, who has muscular dystrophy, were out there with them collecting money. Hale said the boy wasn't feeling well, so he wasn't with them last weekend, but a boy from Hesperia who has muscular dystrophy made it to the fund-raiser and he had his own little boot to collect money.

"People who donated Friday also donated Saturday too. It was heartwarming," Capt. Hale commented.
