Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City of Batavia Firefighters IAFF Local 896 is happy to announce the return of our Fill the Boot campaign for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. After a two-year break due to COVID we are bringing back our annual boot drive this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, June 17, 2022, from 8:30 a.m. through 1:30 p.m. our Local 896 members will once again be out in the areas of Court Street and Main Street as well as Court Street and Ellicott Street to collect donations for the MDA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second part of our Fill the Boot campaign is our traveling boots. IAFF Local 896 has partnered with businesses throughout the City of Batavia to host a collection boot so that donations can be made throughout the year. Donations collected during our Fill the Boot campaign will support researching neuromuscular diseases such as ALS, muscular dystrophies, and other diseases. Donations will also provide support for families affected by these diseases and opportunities for children affected to go to camps with other children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local 896 would like to thank everyone for the donations already received and for all future donations. Also, a thank you to the local businesses such as Dunkin\u2019 Donuts, Tops Friendly Markets, NAPA, Sherwin-Williams, and Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union who have already adopted a traveling boot for their location<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
