The Goldsboro Fire Department raised over $8,000 during the recent Fill the Boot event.  From August 27^th through the 29^th, the firefighters were stationed in front of the Lowe’s Home Improvement Store on Berkeley Boulevard asking passersby to make a donation to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.  By the end of the weekend-long effort, the GFD had raised a total of $8,056 for the MDA.  This was the 18^th year the Goldsboro Fire Department has participated in the Fill the Boot fundraiser to help families dealing with muscular dystrophy.
