Local firefighters are getting set to ask residents to help with the Fill the Boot fundraiser on August 30th.
Scott Cooper of the Roseburg Fire Department said the event will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the intersections surrounding the Rite Aid store on Northeast Stephens near downtown Roseburg.
Cooper said all proceeds stay local and benefit individuals with Muscular Dystrophy in this area. He said the money raised helps with medical costs that insurance doesn’t cover and also helps to pay for the cost of attending a week long summer camp for kids.
Fill the Boot is put on by off duty firefighters from the City of Roseburg, Douglas County Fire District No. 2 and the Winston Dillard Fire Department. Cash, and checks payable to MDA are both accepted.
