Flamingos Descend on Milford for Annual After Prom Party Fundraising

Flamingos are abound in Milford. 

The plastic birds are part of an annual effort known as "Flamingo Flocking" by the Milford After Prom Committee to raise money for a party after the Milford High School Prom. 

The After Prom Committee held its kick off this past weekend by flocking Jennifer Walsh, a respected teacher and director of the Milford Special Olympics programs, who was named North America Special Olympics’ 2013 Coach of the Year.

"We thought since Jennifer won such a great award this year for her efforts with the special needs committee, it would be appropriate to honor her with this," After Party Committee Member Loriann Braza said in a statement.

Monetary donations will benefit the Milford High School After Prom Event, which is aimed at providing students a safe, alcohol-free event the night of the prom. The After Prom Party is scheduled for May 23 immediately following the prom at Pinz.

Flocking will continue through May 23. To "flock" a friend, contact milfordapp@gmail.com or visit milfordafterpromparty.webs.com. 

For more information, call Loriann at 508-400-6437 or Laureen at 508-450-9644. 

Meanwhile, the After Prom Party Committee will meet again on April 14 and May 12. To donate to the After Prom Party efforts, visit milfordafterpromparty.webs.com/donate.
