According to a release, "Since 1986, FLOW Follies has been a unique example of volunteerism in the communities of Franklin Lakes, Oakland, and Wyckoff. We are a parent-led volunteer organization that brings people together from three towns for a common goal: to raise scholarship funds for graduating seniors of Ramapo Indian Hills Regional School District, and we have a lot of fun in the process! You will meet new people, make new friends, and gain lasting memories as we put together the production and fundraising events.

"Our success is made possible by the dedication of parents who generously contribute their time and talents to the writing, creation, production, and performance of an original musical-comedy…We give everyone opportunities to act, dance, sing, or help behind the scenes. [The] objective is to put on a great show whose net proceeds are scholarship funds for graduating seniors of the RIH High School District & community."

FLOW Follies is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization under the parent organizations of the Ramapo Indian Hills Regional High School District. Contact ffoperations@gmail.com with any questions about the show or how to get involved.
