“Fill the Boot” Campaign
Campaign Raises Money For Muscular Dystrophy Association

The Corpus Christi Fire Department’s (CCFD) annual “Fill the Boot” campaign kicks off on Friday, March 10, and continues each Friday for the next three weeks. The money raised from the campaign benefits the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).

Firefighters will be at intersections in various parts of the city, including:

- South Padre Island Drive at Flour Bluff Drive

- Northwest Boulevard at State Highway 77

- Six Points

- Staples Street at Saratoga Boulevard

- Horne Road at Greenwood Drive

- Several intersections along SPID

Community members also can stop by any fire station to donate.

Last year, CCFD raised more than $128,000. This was the 4^th largest amount collected in the nation by a fire department for the MDA. This year, the Corpus Christi Fire Department hopes to break that record, but it can only happen with the generosity of our residents.
