Oh my goodness, I just found out my brother is going to be jailed tomorrow (Wednesday)!

He has been found guilty (by the March of Dimes) of helping to "Arrest Premature Births". Smile

My brother (who has five healthy daughters) set a goal of helping to raise $500 for the March of Dimes. He has gotten only halfway to his goal, and tomorrow is the day he will be "jailed" for a good cause!

Just thought I would post this in case anyone wanted to toss in $5 or $10 to help the March of Dimes. More info about the "Jail & Bail" event below. Big Grin

---------------------------------------

One of the March of Dimes favorite events, Jail & Bail brings together community leaders and ordinary citizens for a common cause... fighting birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. Since its inception in 1957, more than 5 million citizens have volunteered their time in the name of fun - and a good cause.

At this event, volunteer "jailbirds" serve time in a "mock jail." "Prisoners" are arraigned before a volunteer judge on trumped-up, outlandish charges, such as "reckless golf-cart driving." They are then sentenced to spend an hour in "the slammer" to raise bail in the form of donations to the March of Dimes. Nearly 500 events are held annually across the country.

Here's the "culprit" and his "half a softball team" of daughters:

Julie- I'm going to bump this thread. My best friend growing up was born 3 months premature, at 1 pound 12 ounces. He spent the first year of his life in a pediatric ICU incubator. This past May he graduated from Muhlenberg College with a degree in Communications and he is completely healthy. He is a regional ambassador to the March of Dimes and every year I participate in whatever charity event is being run locally in his name.

It really is a great cause, for those who are interested.


Oh, and nice picture...
