Lock-Up Wednesday Fundraising Event

South Middleton Township, PA — Todd Eppley was ready to smile as he had his mug shot taken upon being transported to a makeshift prison, arraigned by a judge, and asked to call friends and neighbors for bail money.  That’s because the jail wasn’t real, and the bail money was for a fundraiser benefiting the Muscular Dystrophy Association during a voluntary Lock-Up Wednesday at the Red Robin Gourmet Burgers restaurant off of Trindle Road in South Middleton Township.  The about 120 volunteers were picked up throughout the day Wednesday in a luxury “paddy wagon” limousine or van and taken to the Red Robin, where they had their mug shots taken behind jail bars and were served gourmet “bread and water” from Red Robin, Starbucks, Papa Johns and Chick-Fil-A, said Ariel Jones, fundraising coordinator for the Harrisburg District of the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Participants who couldn’t get out of their offices were also able to raise funds under “house arrest,” Jones said.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
