MDA's Jail Bail hits Goshen

Posted:

People were getting arrested left and right in Goshen, Thursday.

But lock-up was at the Maple Crest Country Club.

It was part of MDA's Jail Bail, the annual fundraiser for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

The jailers showed up at people's workplaces and hauled them off to jail to raise their bond.

They did that by calling family and friends who helped bail them out with a donation.

Glenda Chupp, who was jailed for MDA says, "I am really concerned about children. We're a foster family. We've been a foster family for about 10 years and we help teen girls."

Mike Yoder, who was jailed for MDA says, "It's good for us in a lot of ways. We have a, actually have a co-worker who's mother has muscular dystrophy. That's basically what got us into it."

The money raised helps send kids with Muscular Dystrophy to camp.

Incidentally, this year's camp starts on Sunday.
