“RoundUp for Research – Jail & Bail” has come and gone. Although there will always be a need for kidney research and donations, the OAFA is proud to have contributed to the Kidney Foundation of Canada on Nov 7, 2007. It was good fun getting organized and seeing the event through. It would not have been possible without your help in this however.

At 2:45pm, Ken was read his rights by a very nice police officer, who also happens to play ball, and taken away to the jail house. The submissive criminal that Ken was, meant that he didn’t need the hand cuffs after all.

Ken was arrested for various crimes; some “ball” related (taking TOO long to “break in” the ball glove & recklessly “stealing home”) and some that were not. The Judge and Police that were on hand at the Orleans Legion, seemed quite concerned that there was a great joy and connection with adult beverages and proceeded to lay down the law. After downsizing his initial sentence from one year of community service, he was given a one hour sentence in a “communal jail” and had to come up with $490 in bail money to help support the Kidney Foundation.

Following the mug shot and meeting his inmates (no there were no bald headed guys wearing orange jumpsuits), he was then served some traditional jail house food - garlic bread and water. Ken then made his phone calls. His task was quite well received by all of you that were able to contribute. Thanks to everyone he was able to make bail and surpassed the amount required - $710 was raised for the Kidney Foundation and he was released from jail.
