Thank you to everyone who helped make Ken Pettit’s time at the MDA Lock-Up a success!

Thanks to our many generous customers including Molly Dawson of Data Based Marketing, Darren Smith of Compass Health, and Damien Porter of SLO Passport for their participation. Everyone's generosity helped Ken raise his bail, which funds the local chapter of the Muscular Dystrophy Association and allows the kids to attend a week-long summer camp.

Well, I must have rolled three doubles because I’m about to be taken to jail without passing go!  I’m participating in the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s San Luis Obispo Lock Up to help “Jerry's Kids®”.  My bail’s been set at $1800, just enough to send three kids to summer camp. I need your help to reach my goal and earn my “Get out of Jail Free” card. 

MDA serves people in our community with neuromuscular disease by providing clinics, support groups, assistance with the purchase and repair of wheelchairs, braces and communication devices, and summer camp for kids. MDA also funds research grants to help find treatments and cures for 43 neuromuscular diseases.

To find out more, click here to see my Participant Page. You’ll find plenty of information about MDA and the local services it provides so that you can see how your donation will be used. You may make your donation on-line by credit card or, print out a form to mail or fax over to me.  Feel free to contact me directly at 805-781-9301 or via e-mail.  And if you happen to roll the dice, come by to “just visit”.

Thank you for helping me help others. 

Ken Pettit


P.S.  If you don't help save my ugly mug this year, you might just find yours nominated next year.

One of their many events was the LA Day on Hope and BIG Images is proud to help by providing banners and signage for the event.

The 2006 event drew 3,500 participants, including 1,500 volunteers, to 6 sites in the greater L.A. area. Activities of the day included soccer clinics provided by the Los Angeles Galaxy Soccer team, health education provided by the Children's Hospital of Orange County, and mural painting to beautify the schools' grounds.

BIG Images is a technology company as well as a large format printer: therefore when an opportunity to help push the technological envelope of the world presents itself we jump at the opportunity. WhyNotSolar.org—an organization whose goal is "... to bridge the gap between interested individuals, donors and volunteer programs" hosted an event this past weekend promoting the awareness of alternative energies such as solar power, biodiesel, veggie-oil, and electricity for vehicles.

WhyNotSolar.org is part of a growing world of people searching for renewable energy—hoping to do their part to reduce their carbon footprint. It's international projects include an ongoing Thailand program where volunteers will, for example, help supply electricity to schools so they can run air conditioning, and promote renewable energy.

If you are interested in the opportunities available and have time, money, or encouragement to offer check them out at www.WhyNotSolar.org.

BIG Images is proud to support the pursuit of alternative energies—you should be too!
