ANAHEIM : Firefighters to Fight Muscular Dystrophy
City firefighters will be collecting donations outside Disneyland on Saturday for the Muscular Dystrophy Assn.
Calling it Fill the Boot Day, the firefighters will stand at the corner of Harbor Boulevard and Katella Avenue from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. They will ask drivers and others to put money into a rubber fire boot.
The donations collected in Anaheim will be forwarded to the International Assn. of Firefighters, which is organizing Fill the Boot Days nationwide. The money collected will be presented to the Muscular Dystrophy Assn. during the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon.
Last year, Anaheim firefighters collected $17,000.
