WANTED
VOLUNTEERS FOR A FUN CHARITY EVENT!!!!
WHEN: Thursday, March 26, 2009
SHIFT: 9:30am to approximately 3:00pm
(Free lunch included)
WHERE: Barney’s Beanery
250 N. 1st Street
Burbank, CA 91502
WHAT: The Muscular Dystrophy Association is hosting a fun event to raise money to help out people with Muscular Dystrophy. We have recruited prominent business people in the Burbank area that have agreed to be mock ‘arrested’ for one hour of their day. We will be picking them up at their place of business, putting them in handcuffs, and bringing them to Barney’s Beanery where they will raise their $1600 ‘bail money’ for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. We will feed them and give incentives and prizes to those who raise their bail. As a volunteer, you would do one of the following:
• Drivers and Vehicles (2 needed) – Help provide transportation for the Lock-Up Event. The drivers and vehicles pick up business executives in the Burbank area only and take them to the luncheon at Barney’s Beanery and back to their place of business. This event will put less than 50 miles on any vehicle. Drivers need to arrive by 10:00 a.m. Drivers will have an arresting officer in their cars, so they can remain with the vehicle at all times if they wish.
• Arresting Officer (7 needed) – Ride with the driver and actually physically ‘arrest’ our ‘jailbirds’. Enthusiastic, outgoing people are needed to make a big deal out of the fact that the business owner has a big heart.
• Mug Shot/Check In (2 needed) – Welcome Jailbirds to event, check them in, take jailbirds’ mug shot upon arrival and escort them into jail.
• Central Booking (2 needed) – Book jailbirds and process their bail money
• Arranging Arrest (1 needed) – Follow arresting schedule provided and make last minute pick up calls.
CONTACT INFO: Volunteer positions are assigned on a first come, first served basis. If interested, please contact Kara Lizarraga at the Muscular Dystrophy Association at 818-981-8200 or klizarraga@mdausa.org. All volunteers must be confirmed by Friday, March 20, 2009.
