INDIANAPOLIS – The 2015 Fill the Boot collection took place prior to the Colts vs. Bears game on Saturday, August 22. Local 416 volunteers collected monetary donations benefiting the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) at the Colts Community Collection Stations, presented by Toyota, located outside each Lucas Oil Stadium gate.
Starting two hours prior to kickoff, firefighters were stationed around Lucas Oil Stadium, each with a boot. Although, before the entire group from the Local 416 was in place, Colts fans were already opening up their wallets and emptying out pocket change to support the MDA. In just two hours prior to kickoff, firefighters were able to raise more than $4,100.
