The United Way of Crookston would, once again, like to thank the Crookston community for making their Jail and Bail fundraiser a huge success! With an almost entirely virtual jail this year, over $5500 was raised for their local agencies and programs. There were 50 “detainees” who agreed to go to online jail and spend two weeks promoting the event, which resulted in the goal being surpassed. 22 of the jailbirds went above and beyond by raising more than their initial bail goal, the top 10 being:
Ryan Wall, The Boucher Men, Cathy LaJesse, Brian Frisk, Rose Schumacher, Ashley Persson-Melsa, Beau Melbye, Jenn Walz, Mary Jo Halos, and Marley Melbye
We are so lucky to have so much support across the area; this is the best way we live united!
