Seattle firefighters will be collecting donations during their annual “Fill the Boot” drive all over Seattle, as well as at Queen Anne ‘caffeine corner’ (the intersection of Queen Anne Ave N and Boston), today benefiting Jerry’s Kids, a fundraiser by the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).
Queen Anne’s firefighters say they will be at caffeine corner for most of the day—they’re still on call, but will be collecting donations on and off between their regular duties.
“According to MDA, the Fill-the-Boot campaign has raised over $435 million nationally for those affected by muscle-deteriorating diseases. Last year, the Seattle Fire Department was the number-one department in Washington State, contributing over $105,000 to MDA’s Fill-the-Boot campaign,” SFD wrote on its Facebook page.
