MEDINA – A boot drive to benefit Make-A-Wish has been pushed back from today to Sunday due to the rainy weather this morning.

Firefighters from five companies and departments in western Orleans County will team on Sunday from 9 a.m. to noon in an annual boot drive to raise money for the Make-a-Wish Foundation in Western New York, which grants wishes to children battling critical illnesses.

Firefighters from Shelby, East Shelby, Medina, Ridgeway and Lyndonville will be near the intersections at Route 63 and Maple Ridge Road, Route 104 and South Lyndonville Road, and Main Street and Center Street.

The firefighters have raised about $8,000 in the recent boot drives for Make-A-Wish.
