MDA serves 60 families in the Brazos Valley, and nearly 80 percent of the money raised last year was spent on patient care, she said. Sept. 1-2 will mark the fifth year of the firefighters’ Fill the Boot drive. About 35 firefighters from Bryan will solicit donations, and the same number of College Station fire fighters are expected to participate. “I know that there’s a lot of en ergy with the guys who are out there doing it,” Maxwell said. “They want to beat last year’s total.” Saturday and Sunday, firefighters will be at shopping centers and malls in Bryan and College Station, en couraging people to fill the boot. “That weekend is a very big retail one (when parents buy school sup- plies for their children), and fire lighters are basically asking, ‘Can we keep the change for Muscular Dystrophy?’” Aldrich said. “That’s the way we’ve been doing it for the last couple of years, and it’s been working real well,” said College Station Fire Chief Doug Landau. He added that off-duty firemen will be collecting donations so there will be no cut in the city’s protection. After collecting donations for MDA, firefighters will present the organization with a check on the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon. They also will take call-in donations at the telethon, Maxwell said. “Firefighters and the MDA are kind of in the same business,” Max well said. “Our business is to save lives. We just go about it a little dif ferently. (This week) has just been set asiae for folks to recognize fire men.” Bryan firefighter Nick Pappas said firefighters work hard, and he believed the appreciation week was a good idea.
