Altus Fire-EMS Department

09/05/2026

Today is the day for MDA fill the boot in Altus. Our firefighters will be on the corner of Falcon and Main until approximately 1:00 pm.

Donations to the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) fund research, clinical care, and advocacy programs for people living with muscular dystrophy, ALS, and related neuromuscular diseases.

The campaign consistently raises approximately $20 million annually to fund research for muscular dystrophy, ALS, and other neuromuscular diseases.

Started in 1954 and the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) is the largest national sponsor and top fundraising partner for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). Firefighters have raised more than $750 million since the program was initiated.

Altus is a huge part of this campaign with all their generosity. Thank you so much for helping us help others.
