Jail & Bail Fundraiser
In honor of America's 250th Anniversary Celebration, a respected resident has been "arrested" - not for any wrongdoing, of course - but for outstanding reputation as a valued and respected member of our community! As one of Merrimack's finest individuals, the individual has been selected to participate in our special 250th Independence Day Anniversary Jail & Bail Fundraiser.
Their charge is simple: being someone their friends, neighbors and colleagues would happily support for a great cause. Here's how it works:
- They have been playfully "arrested" and "booked" during our celebration event on May 8th or May 9th.
- Bail has been set at $250 in honor of our country's 250 anniversary.
- To secure their release, they must raise bail by reaching out to friends, family, colleagues, neighbors via calls, texts or emails.
- They may not post their own bail - community support is required.
All funds raised go directly towards supporting Merrimack as we celebrate America’s 250th Independence Day festivities, ensuring this historic milestone is celebrated in a way that reflects the pride, spirit and strength of our Town.
Participation is meant to be fun, lighthearted, and community focused - a wonderful way to connect with others while supporting a once-in-a-generation celebration.
