Throughout the month of March, firefighters in Dauphin will be raising money for Muscular Dystrophy Canada.
It's their Fill the Boot campaign, one that Dauphin fire chief Cam Abrey has been around for quite some time.
"Since 1976, the Dauphin Fire Fighters Association and the department have been involved in a partnership with Muscular Dystrophy Canada. M.D. has been the firefighters' charity of choice since 1954. But since 1976, the total accumulated donations that we have received from our community and surrounding area is in excess of one hundred thousand dollars."
Abrey says they got off to a great start with their month-long campaign last weekend.
"We have set a goal for this year of five thousand dollars. And thanks to the generosity of the community and the surrounding area, last week we almost made it halfway there. We are currently just shy of the two-thousand dollar mark, so we are hoping that we can double that this weekend and hit our goal."
Firefighters will be located at both the Dauphin Market Place Mall and Dauphin Co-op from noon to 2 pm on Saturday to accept your donations.
If you can not make it out this weekend, you can still donate throughout the month of March.
Links to donate can be found on the Dauphin Fire Department's Facebook page.
You can also drop off donations in person at the Dauphin Fire Hall.
