Flock you!

Have you ever awoken from a peaceful night's slumber, only to look out your window and see a flock of pink flamingos lounging in your yard? Yeah, we hate it when that happens.

Unless, of course, it's for a good cause. The Austin Flamingo Project, in affiliation with Planet Cancer, is promoting awareness and conducting its first annual fundraising campaign with the help our fine, pink-feathered (and also plastic) friends. The organization is an Austin-based, national non-profit that provides support for young adults with cancer. Their fundraising goal for this year is $15,000, so flock yer family! Flock yer friends! Just get flockin'.

The Austinist guarantees that no flamingos were harmed in this post.
