It is that time of year again for the MDA “Fill the Boot” event! Last year we raised almost $10,000 in six hours. This money will go to help find cures for many diseases that affect so many across the United States and right here in our own City. Thanks to this event, we were able to become the largest contributor in the South Bay. In the past we have been unable to raise this much money but with your help we can continue to take this event to new heights!
Here is the plan for this year:
When: September 17, 2010
Where: Cricket Wireless Theatre (C-Shift)
Who: Brad Paisley
Time: 1730-2000 (concert starts around 1930 or so)
What to bring: Pair of boot s to fill, wear Class “B”, Helmet, and a change of clothes for the concert!!
The MDA as a “Thank you” will have FREE tickets, FREE food, and FREE beverages for those who participate. We are fortunate enough to have established a great partnership with Cricket Wireless Theatre last year and look forward to a very productive event! We look forward to seeing everyone on Sept. 17, 2010. Please contact Jeremy Czapinski for more information; we will be looking for a head count to know how many tickets we may need. Please give Jeremy a call and he will be happy to answer any questions you may have. More information to follow, Thank you.
