We were using these brightly colored lawn ornaments to raise money for the American Cancer Society. For a donation of $25.00 our Relay for Life team, CSI-The Cure, has been going around placing approximately 20 of the pink-plumed birds in people's yards with the hope that the recipients will 'pay it forward'.
But now our plumages have been pilfered! It's as though our pledges have been purloined! Simply preposterous!
Who could have formulated such a feat? Will our flamingos remain forever in flight?
Seriously, although it's upsetting to have the flamingos taken, the reality is that the donations raised from this fundraiser would have gone towards Cancer research and other wonderful programs provided by the American Cancer Society. Hopefully, the pranksters will return the flamingos to their rightful owners who can then continue to 'Flock for a Cure'. (Click to read last year's post).
