MARQUETTE, MI-- Marquette firefighters are once again taking to the streets to help out the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
On July 27 and 28 eight firefighters will stand at four intersections and collect money for the MDA in boots. They’ll be at Cleveland and McClellan, Third and Hewitt, Pine and Fair, and Front and Washington. Some will also roam the Blueberry Fest downtown.
Money collected will be used for research, support groups, care centers, and to send 50 kids to MDA summer camp. Last year more than 100,000 firefighters raised $24 million dollars in Fill the Boot events across the country.
