Fire Fighters have a long tradition of supporting researching the cure for Muscular Dystrophy.  Annually, fire fighters throughout the United States work extra hard over Labor Day Weekend to raise money and "Fill the Boot for Jerry's Kids."  Locally, our affiliates in Maryland work just as hard and we are always proud of their efforts.  This page will list events that specifically benefit MDA in and around MD/DC.  For more information, we encourage you to visit the IAFF's web site to read more on MDA and its very special fire fighter connection.
