Raising one’s glass in toast after toast is sure to build a little more muscle, but it’s certain too to raise needed funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The annual MDA Toast to a Cure Gala held Nov. 22 at the Hyatt Riverfront raised more than $40,000 to foster help and hope for those who depend on MDA. Kudos to top fundraisers Bryan Miller ($12,400) and Randall Whitfield ($5,250) as well as the Jacksonville Association of Fire Fighters, who helped to raise over $120,000 this year through the combined efforts of the “Fill the Boot” campaign throughout Northeast Florida, according to President Randy Wyse.
