MDA Fill the Boot Campaign

TYLER — The Tyler Fire Department and the Muscular Dystrophy Association partner in the fight against neuromuscular diseases during the annual Fill the Boot campaign. Tyler Mayor Barbara Bass, Tyler City officials, MDA staff and special guests began this year’s campaign Friday with a media kick-off at Tyler Fire Station 10, at 2502 Old Omen. Tyler Today is the final day to fill the boots at Wal-Mart on Troup, Wal-Mart on Hwy 64, and the parking lot of Lowe’s from 10am-6pm to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Last year Tyler firefighters raised over $20,000 through their Fill the Boot efforts. Tyler firefighters have been participating in Fill the Boot for several years and have raised over $116,000 in the past eleven years. Firefighters are the largest national sponsor for MDA.
