Scarsdale Local 1395 To Fill-the-Boot for MDA

The Scarsdale Fire Department Local # 1394 will be Filling the Boot for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) for the second year in a row this summer on Wednesday, June 23, 2010.

 Scarsdale firefighters will be collecting donations for the fight against neuromuscular disease at the Scarsdale Fire Station from 6 AM until 9:30 AM. All of the proceeds will go towards MDA's services, research programs, and support groups that benefit individuals and families in the local area. They have set a goal of $ 2500.00.

MDA is the nonprofit health agency dedicated to curing muscular dystrophy, ALS and related diseases by funding worldwide research.  The Association also provides comprehensive health care and support services, advocacy and education. MDA also supports nearly 330 research projects around the world and sponsors 200 hospital-affiliated clinics.
