Bangor Firefighters raise $9,084 for MDA in Black Friday Fill the Boot

Dec 20, 2014

BANGOR, Maine – More than nine members of the Bangor Fire Department Local 772 raised $9,084 during the annual Fill the Boot drive on Black Friday to benefit children and adults affected by muscle disease throughout the Bangor area.

To date the Bangor Fire Department has raised $29,322 for the MDA of Maine. Longhorn Steakhouse in Bangor held a Dining for Dollars event 5-8 p.m. to help raise further funds for the Bangor Fire Department Fill the Boot program.

“For six decades, fire fighters have fueled MDA’s mission to find treatments and cures for life-threatening muscle diseases, and this year’s Bangor Fill the Boot results are a perfect example of the true dedication Bangor Fire Department Local 772 has toward supporting the families we serve,” said Fundraising Coordinator Lisa Nouchanthavong. “We’re grateful for the support of these inspiring, selfless individuals who provide life-saving help that will fund research, advocate for children and adults affected by muscle disease, and rally our community to fight back.”

Funds raised through 2014 Bangor Fill the Boot events will help support MDA’s programs of worldwide research, specialized health care services, and day-to-day support – which includes sending children affected by muscular dystrophy and related muscle diseases to a weeklong, barrier-free MDA summer camp at Camp Agassiz in Poland.
As the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s largest national sponsor, the IAFF fuels MDA’s mission to find treatments and cures for life-threatening muscle diseases.

The IAFF is a major contributing sponsor of the MDA Show of Strength Telethon, and IAFF contributions from charity baseball games and other local events help support MDA’s efforts to raise awareness and provide professional and public education about neuromuscular diseases.
IAFF support for MDA began in 1954 when the organization committed by proclamation to support MDA until a cure is found, and the organization’s unwavering commitment to MDA has remained strong to this day. The IAFF raised $100,000 for MDA in 1955, and $1 million in 1970, and fire fighters continue to raise the bar in their fundraising efforts. In 2013, more than 100,000 fire fighters participated in Fill the Boot events across the country and raised $26.2 million. To date the IAFF has raised $530 million for MDA.

Mainers "Fill the Boot" for MDA

by Carolyn Callahan - November 25th 2011 01:24pm

Bangor - Some off-duty Bangor firefighters were working hard for a good cause on Friday.

They were out for their annual Fill the Boot Fundraiser.

The money collected goes to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

Black Friday shoppers had no problems slowing down, to help out.

" We try not to be in the intersection when it's a green light but people are stopping anyway. There's nobody honking horns to get out of the way. You can stand right in the middle of the intersection and people just start handing money out. It's fantastic," said firefighter Ryan Blanchette.

Last year, Fill the Boot raised more than $11,000. The firefighters are hoping to get at least that amount this year

This is why we do what we do

Hitting the streets for MDA

On November 27, 2009 (Black Friday), members of Local 772 hit the streets for MDA. Members were on the street from 7:00 am until noon filling the boots. We went to the intersection of Hogan Road and Bangor Mall BLVD. and members walked the lines collecting from the shoppers out Christmas shopping.

By all appearances, the effort was well worth it, despite the cold rain that we stood in, and the boots filled fast. We will post the total amount after it has been counted.

Thanks to everyone who donated their hard earned money to 'Jerry's Kids'.
