Casey Bunker, from the Portland Fire Department, presented Jared with his own fire fighter boot on behalf of the International Association of Fire
Fighters. The boot represents their gratitude to Jared for his hours of charity work and assistance with their "Fill the Boot" campaign. Casey's speech outlined Jared's impressive efforts and singular dedication to this work.
Ashley King, the Executive Director of the Maine Muscular Dystrophy
Association, was unable to attend the presentation. Mike Hagerty read Ashley's speech to Jared and his seventh grade peers. Jared's classmates learned about his tireless efforts and perseverance to raise money and bring awareness to this cause, and celebrated his unwavering commitment to his role as the MDA Maine State Ambassador.
