Once again this year, I ended up in “jail” to help support Shining Star Children’s Advocacy Center. If you haven’t already done so, please read last year’s blog<\/a> for background on the event.

As with last year, my bail increased again. Unfortunately, I have not yet made my goal. If you would like to donate and help me to reach it, you can do so here<\/a>. .

2027 will be Shining Star’s 25th Anniversary. Because of that, I would like to raise a HUGE bail next spring during the 2027 Jail & Bail event (actual event date TBA). To help achieve that goal, I am asking those of you who are currently having to take RMDs (Required Minimum Deductions) from your retirement accounts to consider having a portion of it directed to Shining Star as a chartiable donation to help support my 2027 fundraising event!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are able and willing to make a donation from your RMDs, please email me (sscacinmate@gmail.com) for more details and logistics. If you’re not, please watch my main and fundraising socials (@nocrappyexcuses and @sscacinmate) for 2027’s fundraising launch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s all help raise a LOT of money to support Shining Star’s programs and help the children of Lee & Ogle Counties (IL) whom have been affected by abuse!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
