Sponsor a Flamingo is a fundraising program that raises funds to support the BPTO's Curriculum Enrichment programs at Cole and Spofford Pond.

Sponsor a Flamingo is a really fun way to get students, families, and the community excited about the Color Run. 

Sponsor a Flamingo is also a friendly competition among our community, because the student, (one from Cole and one from Spofford), who sells the most flamingos WINS a ride to their school in a Boxford Police vehicle - sirens, lights, and loud speaker included! 

Flamingo sales run May 15th thru June 2nd.

Flamingos are sold online boxfordpto.org/sponsor_a_flamingo

We encourage you to share the link with friends and family so they can purchase flamingos on behalf of your student/runner.  It's a great way to raise funds and increase your child's chance of winning the police ride to school.  Win-Win!

#1 It's fun!

#2 It encourages you to get creative in your fundraising with fun flamingo sales pitches, videos, social media posts, yard signs, etc., all to garner support for your Color Runner.

#3 Most importantly, 100% of flamingo funds go directly back into our schools through the BPTO's Curriculum Enrichment program!

Do we get to keep the flamingos? No. As responsible stewards of the fundraiser, we reuse the flamingos each year. We kindly ask that you and your children don't keep your flamingo flock.

Do flamingos end up in my front yard?  YES! If your child is the leading fundraiser that week, you are getting FLOCKED!!!

*The leading fundraiser will be contacted prior to the flocking to ensure you are comfortable with it.

Can I "sell" flamingos if my child isn't running in the Color Run? Yes! Any enrolled Cole or Spofford student may sell flamingos and be eligible to win the Boxford Police vehicle ride to their school.

Can someone from out of town or another state purchase flamingos? Yes, and we encourage it!  All flamingo sales are done online, so anyone can purchase flamingos on behalf of your child/runner. Share the custom URL boxfordpto.org/sponsor_a_flamingo so friends and family from far and wide can support your fundraising efforts.

How will we know where our child stands in the flamingo sales?  The BPTO will do a weekly Facebook post highlighting the top three fundraisers from each school. Plus, you can always email the BPTO if you're dying to know!
