Firefighters ask you to help ‘Fill the Boot’ for MDA

Traffic at the intersection of 15th Ave NW and NW Market Street (and many other intersections in the city) could be a little snarled today and tomorrow. Seattle firefighters will be asking drivers to “Fill the Boot” fundraisers for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

Drivers are encouraged to toss cash, checks and change into the firefighters boots. Last year the fundraiser broke the northwest region record by collecting $131,000. Ballard’s own station 18 collected a department record of $24,662. Not only did this earn them bragging rights, they also received the “Coffee for a Year” prize. (Thank you Derek for the tip!)
