For several years now, our church has sponsored a Relay for Life team to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Borrowing the idea from some of our customers, we decided to raise money by “flocking” people with flamingos. For a small donation ($10 - $20), we would sneak into someone's yard and flock them with about a dozen of the pink plastic birds. Then, for a donation from that household, the flock would "migrate" to someone else’s yard. We even offered flamingo insurance to anyone who did NOT want to be flocked! We left a laminated “message” around the neck of one flamingo, letting the victim know the “who, what, when, where, and why” regarding our fund raising.
SUGGESTION: Be sure to contact your local newspaper about the event. They get a great feature story, and you get FREE publicity! If you belong to a non-profit organization and would like to use our Flamingo Flocking Fund Raiser, please click on Products, then Flamingos and Flamingo Stuff. You will find discount pricing under Flamingo Fund Raisers or Flamingos For Rent (yes, you may buy or lease the flamingos!). You may keep them for up to 30 days or so. If you want to keep them longer for a particular reason, just let me know so I can schedule accordingly. Please note: We do not personally deliver and set up the flamingos. We simply ship them to a designated address.
