Jail n Bail

Jail-N-Bail celebrates 25 years in Prince Albert – Annual Fundraiser brings community together to put cancer away for life!

The event will be Thursday, October 23, 2014 from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm at the Gateway Mall, Prince Albert.

The Canadian Cancer Society’s Jail-N-Bail is moving from silent films to the TV age as it celebrates Prince Albert’s 25th event on October 23, 2014 at the Gateway Mall. This year’s event is adopting a new look based on television crime dramas and cheap pocket novels.

Jail-N-Bail® is a fundraising event that involves putting otherwise respectable citizens in a special jail and giving them the opportunity to raise pledges or ‘bail’ from their friends, family and co-workers.  Turned in by people who “care” about them, these surprise arrests add to the prank-like fun of the event.  These unsuspecting jailbirds will be arrested for charges such as leaving work early to go golfing, leaving old lunches in the staff fridge and being too cheerful in the morning!

Jail-N-Bail® Prince Albert also has its own “Most Wanted”, identified as Cancer’s #1 threats from the last 25 years. These “threats” have appeared on the most wanted list at least once over the last 25 years and have been involved with Jail-N-Bail®  in many other ways.  They include:
