Dear Local 21 Brothers and Sisters,

Year after year we continue to have a strong partnership with the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the IAFF when we are called upon to raise money to fight muscle disease with our nationally recognized Fill The Boot campaign.  Year after year, our Membership has called for a blend of off-duty and on-duty ways to support this endeavor and MN Wild games is our latest opportunity to Fill The Boot.

Coming up quickly is the October 25th game at the Xcel Energy Center, MN Wild versus the LA Kings.  Game start is at 7pm.  Local 21 is looking for 10 Members total; 2 to fill at each of the 5 gates at the Xcel.  This is a very similar production to how the Salvation Army fundraises.  You and a partner (or a group) will stand at the gate entrance and collect donations.  The MDA is providing adequate signage to help keep the public informed that this is firefighters fundraising for charity and not the Fire Department.  The MDA is also providing a locked, free standing donation receptacle that you will be attending.  Passersby will be able to deposit money directly into the receptacle or the boot that we are holding out to them.    You will be working from 5:30p - 7:00pm (game start) and then given passes by the MDA staff to get into that night's game.  Just before 7pm, MDA staff will be coming to each gate and collecting the money.
