Members of Pleasant Prairie Fire & Rescue would like to thank all those who helped "Fill-the-Boot" during the 2015 Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) fundraiser this past June. This year, Pleasant Prairie Fire & Rescue collected a total of $16,602, just over $4,000 more than the amount collected in 2014.
"Thanks to the generosity of the community over the past eight years, members of Pleasant Prairie Fire & Rescue have been able to help support the MDA's efforts to conquer neuromuscular disease," explained Firemedic Mike Passafaro, local MDA coordinator.
The International Association of Firefighters has been a national sponsor of the MDA since 1954. This is Pleasant Prairie's eighth year participating in Fill-the-Boot. The department has plans to participate in the fundraiser during next year's campaign.
