Have you been living under a rock for your entire life? Firefighters collect donations annually for MDA over Labor Day and/or Columbus Day weekend. They've been doing it since 1954, and, it started right here in New England, with the Boston Fire Department. "Collecting 'donations' from motorists for an unknown but surely worthy cause" is a complete mischaracterization of their mission.

Also, in my personal experience, I have NEVER ONCE felt pressured to donate. Cars are approached who have their windows down to offer donations.
