No, not really getting arrested!

So we have decided to cancel the Muscular Dystrophy Association participation. The reason? Well, it had to do with their approach. The whole MDA Lock Up, getting arrested thing sounds a bit like crime glorification and since that's not our M.O. and our advisor advised against it because of the fake arrest thing and some of our customers were already confused, we decided to listen. Instead we will have to find something else to do in our community to make our business more well known so we can beef up our other charitable offerings. Isn't that what these things all about anyway? The businesses that participate win and so do the charities. So MDA, great idea to raise money to send kids to camp, bad take on the crime thing. We will be more than happy to help you in this endeavor should you come up with a new way. Maybe something like "Help Us Win The Keys To The City" type theme. This was our advisor's idea so we can't really take the credit. Anyway. It took 45 minutes to post that all around my FB and Twitter pages and write a blog post. It was so hard it makes those 14 hour days spent on the church fundraisers at the ball park seem like taking candy from a baby, but I digress.
If you happen to have any community involvement ideas that are popular in your neck of the woods, we would be happy to hear about it.
