‘Fill the Boot’ raises tens of thousands

Posted by Geeky Swedes on July 14th, 2009

Last Friday firefighters with the Seattle Fire Department helped raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association by “Filling the Boot” at major intersections, including 15th and Market here in Ballard. Now the MDA says it raised $66,758, up from $56,000 last year. “I was sincerely touched by the level of generosity during such tough economic times,” said MDA’s Rachel Kanter, who thanks everyone for their donations.

Cool!
And, yeah, it didn't hurt the cause to have hot firemen asking me for money. I'd roll down my window for that! :-)
