    Participants were asked to raise $800 to send one child to MDA summer camp. All “Jailbirds” had their “mug shots” taken and turned in their “bail” (pre-raised funds).

   Participants also had a chance to enjoyed a delicious Green Peppers lunch and visit with neighbors during the event.  Many business and community leaders enjoyed being “jailed” for Jerry’s Kids.    MDA is a voluntary health agency working to defeat neuromuscular diseases through worldwide research, comprehensive services, and far-reaching professional and public health education.  In addition to funding ground-breaking research, MDA maintains some 230 clinics nationwide, including Fletcher Allen Health Care and Fanny Allen.  Funds are also allocated to local support groups and a summer camp for kids with muscle-wasting diseases at the Double “H” Ranch in Lake Luzerne.     Anyone interested in donating money to the Muscular Dystrophy Association can contact Piper Allport at 1-806-862-6424 or [email protected]
