It's flocking newsworthy!

Flocking For A Cure was in the newspaper today!  If you are stopping by because you stumbled across the article in the Maryland Independent today we want you to have all the information you need!  Hi and Welcome to our blog!  We have included flocking information below but remember to check back in the near future for more information on our Masquerade Charity Ball being held at the La Plata Holiday Inn Express on March 2, 2013!

We started flocking on October 1st and have been migrating flocks three times a week!  This fundraiser has been a fun, lighthearted way to support a cure!  Many buy a flock in support or memory of someone and others buy just to support the cause and have a little fun with their friends yards!  For whatever reason you're purchasing we thank you for participating and helping us raise money towards our goal of $10,000.00 for our Relay For Life team, Pink Heat.

Here is a recap if you haven't had time to browse our blog on how the flocks work (and be sure to check out some pictures below!):
For a fee, you can have a flock of flamingos migrate to just about any residential front lawn in Charles County, MD.

When you order a flocking you will receive a confirmation email within 48hrs with an ETA for your flock. Flocks are delivered first come first serve.

Pink Heat team members will deliver the birds to unsuspecting yards to where they have been directed to roost, usually arriving unnoticed in the cloak of darkness.

These flamingos will take sanctuary at the residence for up to 48hrs before they migrate again.

Pink Heat is a team on behalf of the Charles County Relay For Life.

To make this Relay For Life fundraiser successful, please consider these guidelines before placing a flocking order:

• Flocking should be done in good spirit and should never be meant to be malicious.
• "Victim" should be good natured and have a sense of humor.
• Flocking can only take place in residential front yards (no apartments, condos, public places or businesses, please!)
• Gated communities may be a problem. Please be sure that we can easily arrange access into these areas for both delivery and pick-up.• Deliveries will not occur if extenuating circumstances prevail (locked gates, bad weather, loose pets, etc.)
• Flamingos do not migrate outside of Waldorf, White Plains, La Plata, St. Charles, and Pomfret unless delivery fee is included (see order form or details below).
• We want this fundraiser to be fun and safe for all involved, including our precious flamingos

The flamingo flocking recipient will be left with an explanation, care instructions, and the email to the Flamingo Rescue Hotline.

A small flock (10): $10.00
A medium flock (20): $15.00
A flamboyance (35): $25.00

Delivery Fees:

Free (Waldorf, St. Charles, Pomfret, White Plains, La Plata)
$10.00 (Bryans Road, Indian Head, Port Tobacco, Hughesville)
$20.00 (Nanjemoy, Bel Alton, Newburg, Swan Point, Issue, Cobb Island,
Benedict)
