U City Firefighters Local 2665 Fill the Boot for a record year collecting for Muscular Dystrophy

Firefighters from University City Local 2665 have been out in full force with boot in hand this summer to collect for Muscular Dystrophy. University City is on track to have one of its best years ever! This would not be possible without our citizens and their generosity. Firefighters have always been taken back by the communities giving nature. Firefighters will be at Schnucks 6920 Olive Blvd, Saturday the 21st from 10:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. barring any emergency calls. This will be the last collection for 2013. Thank you so much for your dedication to the cause! 

The funds collected over the weekend will help provide research and family support counseling in the community. Also, the donations will aid in the purchase of wheelchairs and communication devices and will give children with neuromuscular diseases the chance at attending a MDA summer camp.

The MDA is a volunteer health agency working to defeat neuromuscular diseases through programs of worldwide research, comprehensive services, and far-reaching professional and public health education.
