Just got a call and I am going to "jail" for M.D. LOL This is something I try to do every year. Not only gets my companies name out there but also I get to help people. Wish me luck in raising my "bail" money! My "bail" is set for $3,000. After I do this and I can get a picture, I will try to put it on here.
Just wondering if anyone else here does this? If you haven't, it is fun to do. I am going to a hotel for their "Hollywood" theme this year. The other years I have done it, I have gone to a Harley Davidson Dealership. I will get picked up at my workplace, taken away in handcuffs, and taken to "jail" where they will process me with a fingerprint and a "mugshot" behind bars. Then I get fed lunch and can make calls to raise more money and kind of hang out for a while and most of the time when I am taken back to my office, I get to ride in a Limo. Way to get out of work for a few hours (lol), plus doing something good to help people out.

Is this all real? It sounds like a good drama and must be exciting as you say. I guess I have understood it right. Tell me more about it. I have never heard anything like this.

It is something that is done to raise money for the MDA. You aren't really in a jail cell, well at least here. They make it look like you are, but in reality, you collect donations from friends and business associates, family, etc and this all goes to MDA. Your "bail" is basically a goal for you to try to reach. One year I was like $150 away from my goal and just could not get the rest of it. It is being locked up for having a "big heart" as they say. It is a lot of fun.
Basically it is a fundraiser for charity. I also try to help with the Cystic Fibrosis foundation, The March of Dimes, and I help the kids with the United Way when they do things at school, like Jump for Heart.

How fun for you!! They do this in our city too. One year a good friend called and said he was in jail, and needed bail- I almost had a heart attack!! This is for a great cause, and I support it!!..Karen

They do this where I live, too. I've never done it myself; however, I have friends that have. It's actually funny! They haul you off and you have to raise money to get out of jail! All the money is donated to great causes. Good for you for participating in it! I've always thought it looked like fun & it really helps out the agencies that need it! Thanks for the pic! Too cute!

You are a fantastic and caring person. I have MS and I wonder if they do anything like that for MS. I am newly diagnosed and not familiar with the fundraising of this disease.

Ladybug ~ You could look it up on the web. I am sure there are some things that go on to raise money. I am sure they have an official web site.
I have a new cause to check into, emphazima (sp). My mom just got diagnosed with that. What little I read scares me a bit because there is not cure, but I am going to get educated on that, just like I have been for CF, Downs Syndrome, and a few other things.
And a big thank you for the compliment!
