Marysville citizens gave thousands to help out

On Sept. 18 the Marysville Professional Firefighters and International Association of Firefighters Local 3219, in conjunction with the Muscular Dystrophy Association, held its annual “Fill the Boot” fund-raising campaign. Thanks to the generosity of the great citizens of Marysville, we were able to collect more than $7,000 to assist those living with these debilitating diseases.

I am writing this letter to express our sincere thanks to the citizens of Marysville for their support of this fund-raising effort. The generosity and caring of our community members was truly apparent.

On behalf of all of the members of Local 3219, thank you for making this year’s “Fill the Boot” campaign successful. We look forward to working with the community on this event in upcoming years until a cure is found for these diseases.

JEFFREY M. COLE, President

Marysville Professional Firefighters
