THE MOST FUN FUND RAISER EVER!For two years straight, our church 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 “flock” people with flamingos to raise funds. For a small donation ($10-$20 was recommended) we would sneak into someone's yard and flock them with 8-12 of the pink plastic birds. We even offered flamingo insurance ($25) to anyone who did NOT want to be flocked! When we place the flamingos in someone's yard, we hang a laminated tag around the neck of one flamingo, explaining the "who, what, when, where and why" of the fund raiser. The "victim" is given the name and number of who to contact if they want to forward the flamingos on to someone else. During our first year with the Relay, we were delighted to win the coveted “SPIRIT” award for best promoting the Relay—plus we surpassed our goal and raised over $3000! We encourage our customers to contact the local newspaper to let them know about the fund raiser. Newspapers will send a photographer to take a picture of the flamingos. They get a great feature story and you get free publicity! We offer discounted pricing on larger quantities of flamingos. Simply click on Item PI-263; the pricing is based on the quantity purchased. You may keep them for up to 30 days (just let me know if you need them for a longer period). Please note: Shipping costs are usually less when you ship to a place of business, including schools, churches, and other organizations. Have fun flocking! |
