Firefighters in La Crosse will be on the street raising money for a good cause again this year.

The “Fill the Boot” campaign for the muscular dystrophy association is scheduled for September 6th in La Crosse.

Members of the firefighters’ union will collect donations in big boots from passing drivers at two intersections along La Crosse Street, including a corner near City Hall. The event reportedly raises several thousands of dollars a year in La Crosse for MDA work and research.
