25/March/2018 – Carolina Children’s Charities

Sunday wrapped up collections for the “Fill the Boot” campaign to benefit the Carolina Children’s Charity. Colleton County Firefighters joined Fire Crews throughout Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester Counties in collecting funds for the Charity. CCC assists Lowcountry children with birth defects and childhood diseases and has been in operation since 1987. All of the funds collected remain in the area to assist families of children in the four counties. Colleton personnel with fire boots collected at Bi-Lo, IGA, Tractor Supply and Wal-Mart. Colleton’s citizens were very generous and this year. Crews collected $10,283 the largest amount collected in Colleton over the past 20 years. Fire-Rescue thanks all those who donated and the local businesses who participated.

The effort was coordinated by Colleton Firefighter-Paramedic Kristen Dias.
