Flamingo Flocking

Flamingo Flocking is a fundraising event for Campus Kitchen in which yards will be FLAMINGOED!

Plastic pink flamingos will be placed in your yard and will be removed for a donation fee of $10.00, and for $5.00 placed in the yard of your choice!

It’s a great way to play a funny prank on friends or neighbors and it’s for a great cause! If you get flamingoed and choose not to donate, the flamingoes will be removed from your yard immediately.

Tickets - $5 in advance and $7 at the door

Join us for an eye-opening experience that helps bring light and understanding to the world of hunger.  Participants will randomly be assigned a specific socio-economic class and receive a meal that mirrors what is eaten world-wide by people in a similar living environment.  Small and large group discussion along with an educational presentation will help participants learn more about domestic and world-wide hunger.  All proceeds will be donated to Campus Kitchen at Minnesota State University, Mankato.  Purchase tickets in the Campus Kitchen office CSU 173.

In partnership with Oxfam America.  Oxfam America is committed to creating lasting solutions to global poverty, hunger, and social injustice.  Visit the website at www.oxfamamerica.org.
