The 2007 Fill The Boot Campaign was a complete success.  With temperatures reaching 100 degrees and the heat index at 112 degrees, our firefighters took to the streets to Fill The Boot.  For years MDA has been an opportunity for firefighters to hit the streets and fill the boot to help our kids.  Muscular Dystrophy Association, along with firefighters across the nation, fight for a cure against muscular dystrophe diseases.  Your contributions help keep the fight going and offer hope to our kids who suffer daily; We would like to thank the community of Highlands, Texas for helping us help Jerry's Kids.  

   July 21st total:         $2,030.00
   Aug. 11th total:        $1,192.00

2007 Grand total:        $3,222.00


   Special Thanks to Jack In The Box on Main Street for the free drinks, FoodTown for allowing us use of their facility to promote Fill The Boot as well as Fire Department activities and Olde' Cedar Inn for the free drinks and desserts during Fill The Boot.  

    During the 2007 Jerry Lewis Telethon, delegates from Highlands Fire Department participated in Houston's Broadcast of the 2007 Telethon.  Junior firefighter, Kyle Little and Safety Officer, Rafael Errisuriz presented a check in the amount collected of $3,222.00 to benefit MDA and Jerry's Kids.
