Today I got a call from the March of Dimes office in Tucson and was notified that Evan will be an "Ambassador" at the Sierra Vista Jail and Bail Event in September. We're not sure what all that entails (I don't think he gets a crown)! ;-)
Info on what Jail and Bail is all about:
One of the March of Dimes favorite events, Jail & Bail brings together community leaders and ordinary citizens for a common cause... fighting birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. Since its inception in 1957, more than 5 million citizens have volunteered their time in the name of fun - and a good cause.
At this event, volunteer "jailbirds" serve time in a "mock jail." "Prisoners" are arraigned before a volunteer judge on trumped-up, outlandish charges, such as "reckless golf-cart driving." They are then sentenced to spend an hour in "the slammer" to raise bail in the form of donations to the March of Dimes. Nearly 500 events are held annually across the country.
