For 65 years the Muscular Dystrophy Association has partnered with the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) to raise donations that support the families we serve through the Fill the Boot program. Each year, more than 100,000 firefighters, go beyond the call of duty, and hit the streets in their communities, asking their neighbors to fill their boot with contributions to the MDA. Donations raised by the firefighters have played a vital role in funding research for muscular dystrophy and helping to provide care for individuals and families living with muscle disease. We are looking for volunteers to support the firefighters with their Fill the Boot efforts.
Do you want to join the firefighters and become an MDA hero? Sign up today and we will send you all the details including intersection information and shift availability.
There are 22 intersections all over LA that will need to be covered. Cities include, but not limited to: Eagle Rock, Marina Del Ray, Los Angeles, San Pedro, Van Nuyes, and more!
**03/19/2020 Update: We have rescheduled this opportunity to June 2020 due to the current situation in our community regarding the Coronavirus. We will provide more updates if any more changes arise. Sorry for the inconvenience and we thank you for understanding. Stay well!

Mission Statement
We transform the lives of people living with muscular dystrophy, ALS, and related neuromuscular diseases.
Description
At MDA, we search for volunteers who will embrace and align with our mission, vision, and values which are shared below.
Our Mission: To transform the lives of people living with muscular dystrophy, ALS, and related neuromuscular diseases.
Our Vision: At MDA, we're driven by our passion to create a world free of the harmful effects of muscle diseases. The freedom to walk, to talk, to run, to play, to eat, and to breathe are what inspires us. Each day across the country, these freedoms are taken away from kids and adults with muscular dystrophy, ALS, and related diseases. From research, to care centers, to summer camps, we, along with you are helping people with neuromuscular diseases to live longer, live stronger. If anyone is one day going to unlock a cure, its MDA.
Our Values are our strength. We believe in MUSCLE:
Mission - We're driven to accelerate progress for families and muscle health
Understanding - We're attentive to our constituent's needs and each other's
Stewardship - By investing precious resources wisely, we drive the best possible outcomes
Collaboration - We foster win-win partnerships and build communities
Learning - Knowledge power our success and empowers our people
Excellence - We strive to do our best and exceed constituent's expectations
