Flock a Yard Fundraiser Returns
Written and Photographed By Nancy Clover
Did you hear a flock of flamingos escaped from the Stone Zoo?!
Just kidding — but flamingos are flocking to yards all over Melrose!
It’s officially Flamingo Season in our city! The legendary pink birds are BACK — spreading joy, laughter, and a whole lot of love for local education.
Join the Melrose Education Foundation in one of the most unforgettable (and Instagram-worthy) fundraisers of the year: Flock a Yard!
Want to surprise a friend, delight a neighbor, or prank a coworker (for a great cause)? Send a flamboyance of flamingos to land on their front lawn overnight! They’ll wake up to a sea of cheerful pink — and a clear message: someone cares and supports Melrose students.
All proceeds go directly to grants for Melrose educators, bringing fresh ideas and creative tools to classrooms across the city.
Choose Your Flock quickly, as these birds will fly the coop on Oct 24 and spots are limited!
Single Flock (12 flamingos) – $50
Double Flock (24 flamingos) – $100
Order your flock today at www.melroseedfoundation.org
Let’s turn Melrose pink, one front yard at a time.
P.S. Want to see real flamingos? Head to the Stone Zoo.
Fun fact: The plastic flamingos are made in Leominster, MA!
