Step Two: RECRUIT your mates
Nominate a friend or foe to participate with you in Whitelion Bail Out 2010. Invite them to join you in solitary confinement or as part of your group or gang. Once you've registered you can find this 'Nominate a Friend' feature when you log into your inmate profile.
Step Three: RAISE your bail
The simplest way to raise bail is to encourage your prospective sponsors to bail you out via this website. They can do this by selecting your profile and making an online donation. This is quick, convenient and secure. Your fundraising tally is kept underneath your online profile so you can track how close you are to reaching your bail target. All your sponsors will receive an immediate tax deductible receipt upon processing their payment.
Once you've registered you can find this 'Request Bail Donation' feature when you log into your inmate profile.

Step Four: WEAR your handcuff
We are encouraging all Bail Out fundraisers to wear their ‘mock’ hand-cuff with pride during Bail Out week – Monday 24th – Friday 28th May. Once registered, you’ll be issued your handcuffs in the mailed once you've raised a minimum of $25.
Step Five: Celebrate your RELEASE
Upon reaching your bail, you can choose to celebrate you release at any of the events to be held during the week of Bail Out.
THE BAIL OUT LOCKUP
Whitelion Bail Out Lockup is your opportunity to step into the shoes of a young person. The concept is to 'lock-up' fundraising participants, who will be known as 'inmates', in the Former Police City Watch-House. There will be one cell, one phone and a target of a minimum of one thousand dollars raised by each 'inmate'. 
PAROLE PARTY
A truly memorable evening awaits all you crooks, cons & crims that raise a minimum of $150 during the campaign. Celebrate at the historic Old Melbourne Gaol like you've just made parole and watch the 'inmate' release at the official Bail Out event.
BREAK OUT PARTIES
Register your own ‘Break Out’ party during the week to raise money. This could include raising funds at school, in your office or at home. Lock up your teacher or boss for a lunch break and rally the team to bail them out.
