Become one of United Way of Lake County's "Jail & Bail" participants and help raise critical funds for local programs that strengthen our community.
Here's how it works:
- Raise at least $1,000 through your personal fundraising page. Friends, family, coworkers, and supporters can vote to either "jail" you on the Laketran Jail Bus for a 90-minute sentence or bail you out before your time is served.
- Get arrested for a great cause. Your only "crime" is being a generous supporter of United Way of Lake County and helping your friends and neighbors.
- Serve your sentence. Plan to spend at least 90 minutes on the bus—unless your supporters have other plans! They can keep you on the bus, bail you out early, or even send you back for another round, depending on the fundraising challenges you create.
- Have a blast. Meet fellow community leaders, enjoy some friendly competition, and experience one of United Way of Lake County's most unique fundraising events. The Jail Bus is full of laughs, great conversations, and plenty of opportunities to rally even more support.
Every dollar you raise helps United Way of Lake County invest in programs that improve lives across our community. So go ahead—get arrested, rally your supporters, and make a lasting impact in Lake County.
