The price to flock a friend is $25 for ten flamingos and $30 for 15.  Business flocking is $30 for 15, $50 for 25 and $100 for 50.  Flock insurance can also be purchased for $75. Flamingos will be on display for one day.

"It’s time to think ‘pink’ again" stated Jeannette Fitzwater, Chairperson for the United Way.  "This is one of most fun and talked about fundraisers each year.  Plus, with the generous support of the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls, we hope to have the county covered in pink flamingos."

A representative from United Way added, “We are in our final month of our 2008 campaign.  Being close to achieving our $110,000 annual goal, we look forward to a successful flocking to put us over our mark!”
