Members of the Batavia City Firefighters from IAFF Local 896 will fan out across the streets with boots in hand for this year’s drive on Friday, June 3rd.
Batavia’s Fill the Boot drive is organized by firefighter Chris Morasco.
“In 2015, our members with the generous help of the community were able to raise $7,523 for the MDA! We are going to try our best to top the $10,000 mark for this great cause," Morasco said.
The event is from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Main Street and Court Street and at Ellicott Street and Court Street.
Pictured with city firefighters are Patti Arroyo and her daughter Zoey.
They are a local family that has been touched by the MDA directly. They met with firefighters to explain how the MDA has helped them.
"It was a great opportunity to put a face to the cause and see that our efforts are truly making a difference and changing lives," Morasco said.
