FLOCK OF FLAMINGOS FULL
Put together a press release stressing what the funds raised will be used for and include pictures of your entire flock at a prominent location.īe sure to include full contact information and the usual who, what, when, where, why, and how in your press release. Newspapers, radio and television stations are always looking for a humorous story, particularly one that’s for a good cause. That way your fundraising information and the previous victim’s note will stay protected from the elements. Write up your fundraising manifesto and place copies in a large plastic Ziplock bag attached to the foot of each flock’s leader.
It makes sense to have multiple flocks working at the same time, so purchase five dozen or so. There is a small upfront investment in the flamingos, but you quickly recoup that cost with a couple of flockings. When that happens, you just remove the birds, have the previous recipient select a new victim and get things going all over again. Of course, you will always run into a few killjoys who don’t see either the humor or the good cause behind the flocking. The flocking process continues for the duration of the fundraising event. The fun part is that each flocking victim then gets to pick the next victim. And, it then goes on to explain that they will have to pay $10 per flamingo to have them relocated. A note is left explaining that the person or business has been selected by someone to be “flocked” for a good cause. The basic fundraising idea involves deploying a flock of pink plastic flamingos in someone’s yard or outside a business entrance. It’s an easy fundraiser for any size group to put together because it requires very little effort to keep it going. A pink flamingo fundraiser is fun way to raise money for your favorite cause.
