They are asking everyone to come out and help the firefighters support Jerry’s Kids.

When you drop dollars into the firefighter’s boot, you are supporting local MDA services, research for neuromuscular diseases, a clinic at UC Davis, summer camps and community education programs.

Cal Fire took on the challenge to support Jerry’s Kids statewide in 2008. This is Mendocino Unit’s fourth year of involvement with the “Fill-the-Boot “fundraisers.  

Through the generous donations from the community they have raised more than $4,000 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
