FORT WORTH, Texas – JULY 19, 2011 – The Muscular Dystrophy Association will put Fort Worth’s “Most Wanted” business and community leaders in the “courtroom” on Wednesday, August 3 at Eddie V’s Prime Seafood for the first ever Fort Worth Nite Court.
On the day of Fort Worth Nite Court, participants will be “summoned” to present themselves before Fort Worth Fire Chief Randy Jackson and families served by MDA, the event’s “judges,” at Eddie V’s Prime Seafood between 3 and 6 p.m. This is the second time that Eddie V’s has hosted an MDA event, and the restaurant will provide defendants with appetizers and free valet parking while Glazers will provide drinks. The defendants’ cases will only be dismissed when they recruit friends and family to help pay “court fees” of $2,400, the cost to send three children to MDA Summer Camp. The goal for the day is to have defendants raise $100,000 for the Association.
Fort Worth Nite Court comes in preparation for MDA’s annual Labor Day Telethon, which will be broadcast in the Dallas/Fort Worth area September 4 from 5 p.m. to midnight on TXA 21.
MDA is the nonprofit health agency dedicated to curing muscular dystrophy, ALS and related diseases by funding worldwide research. The Association also provides comprehensive health care and support services, advocacy, and education. Up-to-date information can be found at www.MDA.org.
