Tax Collector Mike Fasano’s Offices Host Pasco Fire Rescue’s Annual “Fill the Boot” Drive for the Muscular Dystrophy Association During August. 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 (MDA), 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 sixth year, in support of the MDA Fill the Boot program,” remarks 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.”
“It is an honor to assist Pasco Fire Rescue once again with the annual MDA Fill the Boot drive,” comments Tax Collector Mike Fasano. “Over the past several years our staff and a very generous community have come together to support this important organization. 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. Please consider donating to this important cause.”
Donations (“filling the boot”) can be made at any of the five tax collector locations in Pasco County. For those who would like to give online, the tax collector’s charitable giving arm Pasco TC Gives has a webpage through which donations can be made: https://www.govhub.com/fl-pasco/tc-gives/donate. Donations may also be mailed to: Pasco County Tax Collector’s Office, P.O. Box 276, Dade City FL 33526-0276.
