GLYNN COUNTY, Ga.- Fire departments around the Nation have a long standing tradition of supporting the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the many men, women and children affected by these devastating diseases.  Each year Glynn County has demonstrated its commitment through the annual boot drive.

This year the Glynn firefighters are hoping increasing their contribution to the MDA conducting a boot drive on Friday June 13, Saturday June 14, and Sunday June 15.  This boot drive is being done on Fathers’ day weekend in the hopes of increasing the proceeds which are then contributed to the MDA.

 As with most of the Departments boot drives the collection times for each day will be 9:00 am -6:00 pm and all Department personnel are encouraged to coordinate their collection activities with their shift Deputy Chief. 

Captain Poppell has arranged for Department personnel to be located at several locations around the County to maximize the exposure and collection possibilities.  These locations are as follows;

As with all other boot drives for the MDA all proceeds will be forwarded to them.  Last year Glynn Firefighters’ contributed $ 6,896.00 to the MDA.  With the support of the citizens the Department is optimistic that that goal can be exceeded.
