Fundraising:
IAFF Local #3217 is always working to raise funds to support our many
initiatives, including our Member Welfare Fund that helps members and
families experiencing financial difficulties due to medical or personal
situations (both inside our Local and for other Locals).
Our key fundraiser is the Charlie Dyson Memorial Golf Tournament, held in
the Spring of each year. We are always in search
of sponsors for these events, so don't hesitate to contact us about playing
in the tournaments or becoming a sponsor. Watch this site for information
about both tournaments.
Our future plans include the creation of a new Training and Education fund
for our members which would fund programs for members who cannot get money
from the department to attend.
LOCAL #3217 has
another successful year with the MDA Fill-the-Boot Campaign
IAFF Local
#3217 continued their support of the Fill-the-Boot campaign in
September by once again getting the union members of Dulles and
National Airports out into the intersections during Labor Day
weekend to raise money for the
Muscular
Dystrophy Association. This year Local #3217 was able to
increase our collection by over 200%. In return the MDA staff
recognized National Airport union members with the Top Airport
award and National Airport’s “A” Shift with the Top Shift award
for their amounts collected.
Special thanks go to Loudoun County and the City of Arlington
for allowing members of Local #3217 to collect money in their
respective jurisdictions. Most importantly, Local #3217 owes a
special thanks to those members who gave up their time to help
out in this very important cause.
