On Friday, Nov. 18, the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation held their first ever Jail N Bail fundraiser with six volunteer “prisoners”.

The RCMP detachment helped by picking up the “criminals” and taking them to the cells, located in the parking lot of the Neepawa Liquor Mart. In addition to raising money for the organization, the event also aimed to raise awareness about the 24 Hour Giving Challenge, taking place the following day.

In total, over $20,000 was raised for the Giving Challenge. About $3,200 of that was raised by Jail N Bail.
