Cheyenne Lock-Up

Come join us on Wednesday, June 8 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the Cheyenne Lock-Up at Texas Roadhouse. More than 100 business leaders and community members from the Cheyenne area will unite to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Firefighters will pick up the “jailbirds” at work and transport them to a mock jail where they will be booked, photographed, and charged with “having a big heart.” Each jailbird will attempt to raise $1,600 to make bail. Funds raised will benefit local individuals living with progressive muscle diseases by providing health care services, educational outreach, and research to find treatments and cures for more than 40 neuromuscular diseases.

EXECUTIVES ARRESTED TO BENEFIT MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY

More than 100 business leaders and community members from the Denver Tech Center and surrounding areas have volunteered to be arrested on Thursday, June 2 to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). Volunteer deputies will pick up the “jailbirds” at work and transport them to a mock jail at the Tavern Tech Center in Greenwood Village where they will be booked, photographed, and charged with “having a big heart.” These “jailbirds” have been requesting donations prior to their jail-time in an attempt to make their bail of $2,400. All 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.
