Round Rock firefighters will be continuing a long-standing tradition March 16-18 as they kick off the annual Fill the Boot program to raise critical funds to help transform the lives of kids and adults with muscular dystrophy, ALS and related muscle-debilitating diseases. 

Firefighters will be posted with boots in hand asking the community to make a donation to MDA from 8 to 10:30 a.m. and 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. March 16-18 at the intersection of East Palm Valley and Mays Street, as well as A.W. Grimes Boulevard and Gattis School Road.

Individuals and local businesses can also support the campaign remotely by texting ‘BOOT’ to 24325 or donating online at filltheboot.donordrive.com/team/RoundRock.

Fill the Boot is an annual event hosted locally by Round Rock Professional Firefighters Association Local 3082. Donations help meet the urgent need for MDA’s Frontline COVID-19 Emergency Fund to continue services for more than 250,000 people living with neuromuscular diseases across the country.
