(Alpharetta Patch) – The generosity of the Milton community is evident, as the Milton Fire-Rescue Department raised more than $87,000 during the 2018 ‘Fill the Boot’ fundraising campaign to support the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Milton Fire Chief Robert Edgar and members of the Milton Fire-Rescue Department officially presented the donation to Abby Ruffner, Executive Director for MDA at the July 9 City Council Meeting. The mayor and members of the Milton City Council issued a proclamation formally recognizing the fire department for their philanthropic commitment to Georgia families struggling with muscular dystrophy.
Several local MDA families attended the council meeting to personally express their appreciation for the department’s boot drive efforts. The proceeds collected benefit the Camp Twin Lakes in Rutledge. Each year, firefighters collect at central Milton intersections every other Friday from April through late May.
