November 5, 2009 - Baysox To Host Massive “Arrest” of Bowie & Crofton Citizens To Benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association "Warrants" are out for the arrest of over 75 Bowie and Crofton citizens accused of having a big heart for “Jerry’s Kids.” The Muscular Dystrophy Association’s Bowie/Crofton Lock-up will be held on Tuesday, November 17, 2009 at Bowie Baysox Stadium, located at 4101 NE Crain Highway in Bowie. The event will be held from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Community and business leaders agree to be locked up “for good” and are asked to raise bail by reaching out to family, friends, colleagues, and vendors and asking for help raising funds for MDA. The Lock-Up will celebrate the Jailbirds’ success in raising money to help send local children to MDA Summer Camp at Camp Maria in Leonardtown, MD. They will receive actual mug shots and a scrumptious lunch donated by Carrabba’s Italian Grill. MDA is the nonprofit health agency dedicated to curing muscular dystrophy, ALS and related diseases by funding worldwide research. The Association also provides comprehensive health care and support services, advocacy and education. The Association's comprehensive service program includes medical examinations, flu shots, support groups, MDA summer camps for youngsters and assistance with purchase of wheelchairs and leg braces.
