Fernandina Pirates Invade MDA Lock-Up

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Jacksonville, Florida, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) February 23, 2011 -- Fernandina Pirates Invade MDA Lock-Up

Amelia Island, FL - The Fernandina Pirates Club, Inc. stormed the MDA make-shift lock-up in Fernandina Beach on Thursday to benefit Jerry’s kids. 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.

Under the disguise of searching for a mutinous wench, Pirate Club members entered with swords drawn looking to break the fair Kelley out of jail to dispense a bit of their own Pirate Justice! It didn’t take long for the swashbucklers to realize they may be better off paying the jailer to keep her locked-up so instead they offered a Silver Star level donation to MDA.

The Fernandina Pirates Club, a charitable and educational organization, helps to support many different community charities including their own Pirate Scholarship Program, the Amelia Island Museum Elderhostel Program, and Katie’s Ride for Life. The Buccaneers also help provide educational activities to the Council on Aging, ARC and several area school programs.

The Fernandina Pirates Club has over 80 volunteers that provide much more than a colorful disposition when they spread smiles and much needed dollars to a variety of charitable organizations.

These award-winning and internationally televised Pirates can easily be found entertaining during the Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival, held the first weekend in May each year on Amelia Island, Florida.

Having received a Resolution from the Board of County Commissioners of Nassau County as well as a Proclamation from the City of Fernandina Beach Commissioners recognizing the club for their ongoing community service and charity work, members of the Fernandina Pirate club truly are our community’s “Goodwill Ambassadors to the World” as designated by both local government entities.
