Jail Or Bail - Tillsonburg
Jailbirds Break The Bank For Crime Stoppers!
Almost $10,000 was raised for Crime Stoppers of Haldimand, Norfolk and Tillsonburg at its 2nd annual Tillsonburg Jail or Bail fundraiser on October 23, 2007. Held at the Tillsonburg Town Centre Mall, the fundraiser had a “Roaring 20’s” theme and saw many celebrity participants come in period costume (gangsters and flappers) making the day one filled with loads of fun.
Close to 35 prominent citizens were charged with offences such as “Illegal distribution of cement shoes” in accordance with the “Sleeping With The Fishes” Act and “Endangering ‘bees knees’ and ‘sardines whiskers’” in accordance with the “See You In The Funny Papers” Act.
Dubious behavior occurred throughout the day as jailbirds brought props to assist with their trial (play money, moonshine, toy guns and even a cake shaped like a violin case!!) and in a few cases, jailbirds even attempted to take hostages and “jailbreaks.”
“This fundraiser is a great one because in addition to raising much needed funds for Crime Stoppers, participants really have a lot of fun while they’re helping to make their community safe,” said Marla Baxter, Jail or Bail Committee Co-chairperson. Second Co-chairperson Bev Hickey added, “With the outstanding support from our donors, participants and volunteers, it’s easy to see why Crime Stoppers has been able to flourish in our community.”
Crime Stoppers would like to thank several businesses who's "behind the scenes" support made the day a huge success.
