MDA ANTICIPATING ANOTHER RECORD BREAKING LOCK-UP AT THE NAPLES GRAND RESORT

NAPLES, Fla., June 28, 2006 – The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) has issued arrest warrants for many of Naples business executives. As members of the area’s “Most Wanted,” these jailbirds are going to be “Locked-Up” to benefit the MDA. They have all been charged with having a big heart and are heavily armed with kindness! Their sentence is to serve time at MDA’s maximum appreciation jail site on June 28 or June 29 at the Naples Grand Resort.

This event raised over $100,000 last year. MDA hopes to exceed that amount this year with over two hundred jailbirds, who are encouraged to raise $2,500 in bail. This bail amount will send three local children to MDA’s Summer Camp for youngsters ages 6-21 who have neuromuscular diseases.

Participants will be picked up by a Collier County Sheriff’s Deputy. Upon arrival, jailbirds will pose for a mug shot and began raising bail on mobile phones donated by Metro PCS. Once they are released, Elite Limousines will escort jailbirds back to their respective businesses.

All money raised is used locally to provide services for individuals in Southwest Florida served my MDA. This is one of many year-round events culminating with the Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon seen locally on WTVK WB6.
