Kelly Stone of Kelly’s Kone Konnection generously named two ice cream flavors for MDA to help promote the 2011 MDA Labor Day Telethon. This is the fourth consecutive year that Kelly’s Kone Konnection has named flavors to help MDA’s mission.
Members of the local Hamden, Conn. community can now enjoy the special edition flavors “Make a Mocha Chip Muscle” and “MDA Raising More Cookie Dough” during the month of August at Kelly’s Kone Konnection, located at 2583 Whitney Ave. in Hamden, Conn.
Kelly’s Kone Konnection’s support in helping MDA promote the Telethon will increase viewership in the Hamden area, which will in turn help local families and individuals affected by neuromuscular disease.
The 2011 MDA Labor Day Telethon will broadcast during Labor Day Weekend on Sept. 4 from the Mohegan Sun Casino on Fox61 WTIC. Contributions to the Telethon will help fund diagnostic and follow-up care for people with muscular dystrophy, assistance with the purchase and repair of wheelchairs and leg braces, physical, occupational and respiratory therapy consultations, assistance with the purchase of communication devices, medical and scientific conferences and much more. Other services include support groups and MDA’s Annual Summer Camp for children with neuromuscular diseases.
MDA is a voluntary health agency dedicated to helping more than one million Americans affected by neuromuscular disorders through programs of worldwide research, comprehensive services, and far reaching professional and public health education.
Once again, on behalf of MDA and the families that we serve, thank you Kelly’s Kone Konnection for helping the fight against neuromuscular disease.

New Haven Telethon Executive Lock Up
Local business leaders will be heading to “jail” on Thursday, August 18, 2011 from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Leon’s Restaurant in order to raise their “bail” for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).
Community business leaders will be arrested at their place of business and transported to Leon’s Restaurant, located at 500 Long Wharf Drive, New Haven, Conn 06511, to serve their time at the local MDA Lock-Up. The “jailbirds” will be served complimentary “jail” food, while they each attempt to raise at least $2,400 in bail money.
Last year, local “jailbirds” raised over $36,000 in bail money, all of which went towards the fights against neuromuscular disease. This year the local MDA has set a goal to raise $50,000 at the event.
Steve MacLaughlin, Meteorologist for WTNH, will be the Master of Ceremonies at the event. He hosted the Labor Day Telethon for Muscular Dystrophy at WPHL in Philadelphia and KXAS in North Texas. MacLaughlin remains active with MDA throughout the year.
The “jailbirds” are asked to spend a minimum of one hour, but encouraged to stay longer. There will be contests and prizes throughout the hour.
This is the second time the New Haven Lock-Up has been designated a Telethon Lock-Up Event. Any donation of $250-$499 will be awarded a Silver Star and any donation of $500 or more will be given a Gold Star. These “stars” will be featured on the live broadcast of the MDA local Labor Day Telethon broadcasted by FOX 61 on Sunday, September 4, and Monday, September 5, 2011.
MDA is the nonprofit healthy agency dedicated to curing muscular dystrophy, ALS and related disease by funding worldwide research. The Association also provides comprehensive health care and support services, advocacy and education.
For more information on this event or to register as a “jailbird” (or help fundraise for one), please contact Stephen Fredericksen at (203) 248-6500 or sfredericksen@mdausa.org, Chasity Bothman at (203)248-6500 or cbothman@mdausa.org or Valerie D’Angiolini at (203) 288-3500 or vdangiolini@mdausa.org.

The pledge center is located at the Ruth S. Harley University Center of Adelphi University at 1 South Avenue in Garden City, N.Y.
