$100 donation = 1 flamingo = 1 mammogram

Our goal: $750,000

Fundraising isn't required but...

If each of our registrants raised $500, we’d reach our $750,000 goal (thanks to some other cool stuff we have going on behind the scenes).

We don’t require anyone to fundraise but the coolest thing about Pledge the Pink is that most of our registrants and volunteers end up making a donation or fundraising anyway.

Flocks of Love

Behold the sights of a field of flamingos

What started out as a prank a few years ago has since transformed into a Guinness World Record, and a whole lotta money for the cause.

This iconic and poignant display of pink flamingos first set the world record for largest flock of garden flamingos in 2016 and again in 2019.

For those of you that make a donation or fundraise on our behalf, there will be a pink flamingo in our flock for every $100 that you raised. Decorate your bird with hats, boas, doll clothes, and other fun accessories.

Each bird represents one free mammogram. Which means that we’ll be helping thousands of men and women across the country get screening during the scariest 15 minutes of their lives.

Our 2024 Fundraising Prizes

If you would like to receive the fundraising prize packages, please make sure you check the YES box on your fundraising page. If you would rather NOT get the incentive prizes, please make sure you check the NO button. If you checked yes and you qualify for prizes (starting at $500 raised), your prize bags will be waiting for you at the PURPLE TENT at Packet Pickup.

Please note we will only give them to you- not friends or team members – only you. Your Thursday registration bib will have a tear strip to present at the prize tent for prize pickup. If we don’t see you Thursday, you can pick up your prizes after the race on Friday or Saturday. Fundraising totals will be calculated at noon on Sunday, Sept 15, and prize bags will be made based on those totals. If you bring us additional donations at the event, and/or “Facebook proof of contributions”, we will add those to your totals and do our best to include additional prizes you might have earned.

Be a Part of History

The first thing we need to do is raise the money! You can help us do that by either making a donation and/or by fundraising on our behalf.

Assuming we hit our number, we then invite everyone to join us on Monday, October 16, 2023 at Middleton Park and be part of the official Guinness World Record set up!

We will need over 50 volunteers to build the flock so if you’re interested in participating, sign up.

“We are so grateful to be a recipient! This is the best Christmas gift! On December 1 we had to stop performing mammograms because we ran out of funds. We had to call many patients and tell them that we were unable to help them. Now we can call them and reschedule. They will be so relieved!”

FAQs

Can I fundraise if I'm not a registrant?

Is there a difference between teams?

Yes, when you register for the event you’ll be asked to join a “race” team or create a new “race” team. If yall want to fundraise as a team, then you’ll have to create a fundraising team when you set up your fundraising page and then invite your peeps to join that page.
