On April 11, 2014, from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m., members from the City of DeFuniak Springs, DeFuniak Springs Police, Walton County Sheriff’s Office, the Florida Department of Corrections and several other local law enforcement agencies will partner with The Matrix Community Outreach Center to host their 2nd Annual Jail and Bail fundraising drive. The event will be held at Tractor Supply Co., 931 U.S. Highway 331 S. in DeFuniak Springs.
Their goal this year is to raise $15,000.00. You may participate by having someone mock arrested for charges such as “aging too well,” “impersonating a golfer,” or the most committed violation of “wearing unfashionable clothing.” There are so many other phony charges that can be made for the mock arrest of your boss, co-worker, family member, friend or even volunteer yourself to be a jail bird. Even if you can’t participate, donations are always accepted and appreciated! Your generosity during this fun time will make a difference in our community and allow them to continue this much needed program.
For further information on how you can donate or volunteer, please contact Candy Nowling at 850-892-1090.
