BERLIN — Since 1954, the International Association of Fire Fighters has united communities to collect critical funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association — one dollar at a time — through the “Fill the Boot” program. This year, firefighters from Professional Fire Fighters of Berlin, IAFF Local 1088 will continue this legacy during MDA’s 75th anniversary, marking 71 years of support from firefighters nationwide.
Dedicated firefighters from Professional Fire Fighters of Berlin, IAFF Local 1088 will host a road toll event with boots in hand asking pedestrians and motorists to help transform the lives of children and adults living with muscular dystrophy, ALS and other related neuromuscular diseases. The toll will take place on Thursday, June 5, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the Glen Avenue side of Veteran’s Memorial Park in Berlin.
