Wellesley Fire and the Muscular Dystrophy Association

The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) has been working with Fire Departments across the United States for nearly 60 years.

The Wellesley Fire Department hosts a variety of fundraising events every year to raise money for the MDA.  Some of those fundraising activities include a popcorn stand at July Jubilation, profits made by several candy/soda machines at each of the fire stations, and three “Fill the Boot” drives held at Roche Brothers on Linden Street.  Additionally, The Wellesley Fire Local Union 1795 makes a yearly donation.
Where does the Money Go?
77% of every dollar MDA spends goes directly to research, services and education.  14% goes to fundraising and 9% for administration costs.
