A recent “Lock-Up” to support the Muscular Dystrophy Association raised $40,125 for the group.
The Ansonia-Derby Lock-Up was held on Feb. 16 at the Original Antonio’s in downtown Ansonia.
Several Valley officials and businesspeople participated — spending time “locked up” at Antonio’s while they tried to gather bail donations to get out.
The following were some of the top fundraisers, according to information released by the MDA on Feb. 23:
Antonio Teixeira — $3,250
Kurt Miller, Seymour First Selectman — $2,780
Aimee Bogush — $2,740

The money raised helps MDA provide families with services such as support groups, clinics, repairs of wheel chairs and leg braces, flu shots, summer camp and research for new treatments.
