Well, ladies and gentlemen, another great Fairfax County Fill the Boot campaign is in the books. While this one had its challenges, and after nearly having to shut their doors at MDA, this total may not be the greatest amount we have ever collected for them, but it means the most. This donation will help MDA get back on their feet with programs and services.
The campaign total is a nationwide leading $269,491.31.
**UPDATE** 16 Oct 2022: All the dollar bills and pennies have now been officially counted and deposited and I am proud to announce that, thanks to the generosity of the citizens and visitors and the hard work of the public safety professionals, the 2022 Fairfax County Fill the Boot Campaign to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association collected a nationwide leading *$270,806,92*!
On behalf of MDA Vice President of Fire Fighter Partnerships, Tracy Denton and MDA Senior Director of Fire Fighter Partnerships, Jennie King, who were both in Fairfax helping out this weekend, I would like to thank you all for a great campaign.
I would like to give personal thanks to the leadership of Local 2068, the sworn and civilian members of the FRD, the Fairfax County Fire & Rescue Retirement Association, family and friends, and the Department of Vehicle Services.
If anyone should have any questions about the campaign, please do not hesitate to reach out.
