On March 25th, I was "locked up" at our local Hendersonville Outback Steakhouse to help raise money for the Muscular Distrophy Association. This was a fun event where about 120 local business-people were thrown in a makeshift jail, complete with striped uniform, shackles and even a mug shot (you can see mine here). Before I was picked up and taken to the association's Maximum Appreciation Facility, I had raised $1500 for my "bail money". However, after making some phone calls from my "jail cell", I helped raise even more. This was a fun event that helped raise $45,000 for a great cause, which, even in these tough economic times, was $5000 more than last year.
