DADE CITY – Tax Collector Mike Fasano’s five offices will once again feature Pasco Fire Rescue’s Annual “Boot Drive” as the charitable giving organization for the month of August.
All proceeds from this promotional effort will benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association, which is a key organization supported by Pasco Fire Rescue/Pasco Firefighters Charities.
“The Firefighters Charities of Pasco is deeply appreciative of the continued partnership with the Tax Collector’s Office and Mr. Fasano, now in its fifth year, in support of the MDA Fill the Boot program,” said Lisa Brekke, director of Firefighters Charities of Pasco. “This collaboration significantly aids our efforts in raising substantial funds for this vital cause. Reflecting on this journey, which began in 1954, we recognize a legacy of compassion, resilience and generosity that has positively impacted countless lives. The MDA Fill the Boot program remains a beacon of hope for individuals affected by neuromuscular diseases, demonstrating that united communities can achieve profound and lasting change.”
Fasano said it was an honor to assist Pasco Fire Rescue with the annual MDA Fill the Boot drive.
“Over the past several years our staff and a very generous community have come together to support this important organization,” Fasano said. “Memories of the late Jerry Lewis’ efforts on behalf of the MDA, as well as his annual Labor Day telethon that was a staple of so many people’s holiday weekend, are something I recall with fondness. It is truly a blessing that we can devote an entire month to raising funds to assist in research and treatment for individuals afflicted with this dreaded disease.”
