The Deer Park Volunteer Fire Department will present a check for over $6,500 to the Muscular Dystrophy Association during the September 19 City Council meeting, following a very successful “Fill the Boot” campaign in August.
The meeting will begin at 7:30 PM in the City Hall Council Chambers, and the public is encouraged to attend.
“On behalf of the entire Deer Park Volunteer Fire Department, we would like to thank the citizens of Deer Park for their incredible generosity during the ‘Fill the Boot’ campaign,” said Justin Crow, DPVFD Deputy Chief, Station 2. “Altogether, we were able to raise $6,572.34, which will go to the Muscular Dystrophy Association to aid in their fight against neuromuscular diseases. Thank you, Deer Park!”
In addition to being a valued fundraising effort, DPVFD Assistant Chief Phillip Arroyo said “Fill the Boot” provides a unique opportunity for one-on-one interaction with residents.
“We are very grateful to our community members for participating in ‘Fill the Boot’ and for taking time during the event to talk with our department members,” he said. “We value the chance to get to know our residents, answer any questions they may have and show them we’re here to serve the community.”
