Thanks for Flocking Out with us!
What is Flocking?
Flocking is a fun event where a flock of plastic flamingos is placed on your front lawn for a few days to raise awareness and funds for a particular charity.
Why now?
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Although Support The Kid is helping kids with cancer year round, we want to make a push to increase awareness during this special time of year.
Who is Support The Kid?
Support The Kid is an all-volunteer 501©3 nonprofit organization that aids children and their families throughout their battle with cancer. Support the Kid was founded in 2010 and the organization is run on a purely volunteer workforce. We endeavor to keep the spirit and beauty of our founder, Nick Wolber’s legacy alive while helping families and children battling cancer. Our goal which we have achieved each year is to return over 85% of dollars donated directly back to families in need. Since inception, we have donated almost $300,000 to over 100 children across the United States. Learn more about us at www.supportthekid.org .
How long will the Flock be here?
Unless otherwise requested by emailing deflockme@supportthekid.org , your flamingos will depart by 8pm 48 hours after they are placed.
Can I send the flock to a friend’s home?
Yes! We would love for you to share the fun and spread awareness with your friends. Please fill out the flocking form here, or use the hard copy form delivered with your flock.
How far can the flock migrate?
We ask that you keep the flock within a ~5 mile radius of its current location. We currently have active flocks in Long Island, NY., and Oklahoma City, OK, .
How can I refer a child or family that needs help?
Please send an email with their contact information to info@supportthekid.org , and we will reach out to you or the family to determine how we can assist.
