Flamingo Flocking Fundraiser

The Tift County Council on Child Abuse is "flamingo flocking" once again in an effort to raise awareness and funds for the prevention of child abuse and neglect.

Every February for more than 20 years, flocks of pink plastic birds have arrived daily on different lawns across the county. Those who find a flock of flamingos inhabiting their yard are asked to pay a small fee to the Child Abuse Council to ensure the flamingos' safe removal. As a bonus, the donor gets to choose the next temporary residence of the birds.

The flamingos serve as a reminder of the need to protect and serve local children. In 2023, there were 323 reports of child abuse in Tift County.

The Tift County Council on Child Abuse is a non-profit organization operated by community volunteers with local financial support. For information, call 229-382-5172 or email [email protected]
