400 firefighters throughout Seattle have raised more than $100,000 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

During the “Fill the Boot” campaign on July 15th and 16th, firefighters stood on street corners around town collecting coins, cash and checks for the non-profit. “MDA would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all drivers who dropped their dollars and change into the boots of Fire Fighters,” the press release from the MDA states. In total, drivers around Seattle donated $102,731.

Traffic at many intersections in the city could be a little snarled today. Seattle firefighters will be asking drivers to “Fill the Boot” fundraisers for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

Drivers are encouraged to toss cash, checks and change into the firefighters boots. Last year the fundraiser broke the northwest region record by collecting $131,000. Ballard’s own station 18 collected a department record of $24,662. Not only did this earn them bragging rights, they also received the “Coffee for a Year” prize. (Thank you Derek for the tip!)
