Community leaders and business owners in the Denver Tech Center volunteered to be "locked up" to raise money for MDA. These elite members of the greater Denver community solicited donations prior to their jail-time in an attempt to make their bail of $2,400. Those who had not yet made bail hit the phones during their jail-time to raise the rest.
All jailbirds were picked up by volunteer deputies in town cars, taken to Rock Bottom Brewery where they were booked, photographed, and charged with having a big heart. Once an hour of jail-time was endured, jailbird were released with a clean record and MDA's sincerest appreciation for raising funds to help those affected by neuromuscular diseases in their communities.
The location, food, and service staff was donated by Rock Bottom Brewery as the main sponsor for the event. This year's event brought in nearly $80,000 to help over 1,800 local families served by MDA. Funds raised will help MDA provide a comprehensive program of services, including clinics at University Hospital and Children's Hospital, summer camp for kids ages six to 17, a loan closet with durable medical equipment, and nearly $1 million in local funding for neuromuscular disease research.
