Denver Tech Center Executives Jailed for Having Big Hearts

Over 100 community leaders and business owners in the Denver Tech Center area have volunteered to be "locked up" to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). These elite members of the greater Denver community will be soliciting donations prior to their jail-time in an attempt to make their bail of $2,400. All jailbirds will be picked up by volunteer deputies in town cars, taken to Rock Bottom Brewery where they will be booked, photographed, and charged with raising the rest of their bail. Once an hour of jail-time is endured, jailbirds will be released with a clean record and MDA's sincerest appreciation for raising funds to help those affected by neuromuscular diseases in their communities.

MDA's Telethon Executive Lock-Up is association with the annual Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon and allows video of the lock-up to be aired during the live, nationally televised event. Highest bail raisers are given the opportunity to present a check to MDA during Telethon, as well.

The Telethon Executive Lock-Up helps over 1,800 families in Colorado 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.
