What can you learn from these pink flamingo fundraising ideas from Nevada? Allow us to tell you an unfortunate story. What happens when you win a chance to go to the national cheer championships in Orlando but don’t have the money to pay for entrance fees, hotels, and travel expenses?
NOTHING because you do NOT get to go!
Last year, The Pop Warner cheerleaders won the Regionals competition but unfortunately could not come up with the funds to attend Nationals. Imagine how CRUSHED you would be.
These girls are working hard to make sure this NEVER happens again.
First, they have a routine that is 10 times better than last year. Second, they are getting a head start in raising money for the Nationals NOW before they even win. Now that’s confidence! There is every reason to believe they will make it.
Nevada cheerleaders raise money using PINK Flamingos
Imagine waking up one morning and finding 50 PINK flamingos on your front lawn, What would you do?
You would have to call a pink flamingo removal expert! That is exactly what has happened to 8 home owners in Pop Warner so far. You can believe that more are to follow!
Where in the world do you get 50 pink flamingos from?
The cheer team had an idea. They held a carwash fundraiser and used the money to buy the flock of flamingos from a local Home Depot store.
Next, they hatched their plan.
First, they would leave a flier attached to the flamingo closest to the front door. The fundraising flier explains why the flamingos are there, along with donation options to remove them!
- $15 for “trained technicians” to come out and have the flamingos removed
- $20 to have the trained techs come out and remove the flock, plus relocate them to another address
- $30 insurance to keep a home safe from future “flocking’s”.
- $5 fee to find out the person who had them flocked
They normally keep the flamingo flock at a house for up to 4 days. Since the kids are in bed early for school, the coaches or booster club parents will do the flamingo prank. The grownups have fun being “teenagers” again, pulling this prank.
