The flamingos that flock for a cure!

Okay, this actually started a few weeks ago, but I forgot to ever blog it and I think it is one of the coolest fundraising things I've seen for NF, or any other charity for that matter.

This is Connor (same kid from previous blog as seen here http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2437717822165880323#editor/target=post;postID=10847343610444969)

...and this is the flamingos!


9-year old Connor is a very smart kid, who has the genetic disorder, Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (generally called "NF2" for short.)  This whole Texas family is into this fundraising to help find a cure for NF, and if a person makes a donation of a certain amount, they can get their yard flocked by these cute plastic flamingos!

Thank you to their entire family for giving permission to include Connor in my fundraising efforts! :)

Great ideas from YOU: Contact a restaurant in your local area to see if they will contribute a portion of their sales to your fundraising one night.  Thank individual donors on facebook by tagging them and writing a special message about them. OR ask your company if they will host a Casual Day! Ask your coworkers to contribute to your campaign in return they are able to wear jeans, sneakers or anything casual. Include fundraisng link in all e-mail signatures. Hold a bake sale, garage / yard sale or car wash for a cure!
