Donate
Donations can be made to FLOCK THE BLOCK by flocking a neighbor or having your own yard flocked. You can also donate without flocking to support this great organization that helps children and families right here in our own community.
To participate, make a minimum donation of $250, and our volunteers will flock your yard with pink flamingos between November 17-November 21 to raise money and awareness for Make-A-Wish kids in South Carolina!!

Ninja Flockers
It's time to join the fun! Ninja Flockers are the heartbeat of our flocking efforts. As a Ninja Flocker, you are stealthily "flocking" yards each night, creating excitement and building momentum in the neighborhood. But that's not all! You'll also help rally others to join in, engage community partners, raise extra funds, and spread the word about Make-A-Wish South Carolina.
Together we can make a huge impact for kids in our community - our Ninja Flockers lead the way!

Junior Flockers
Let's give our Little Flockers an amazing opportunity to learn about gratitude and empathy! When your kids sign up to be Little Flockers, they'll be part of something special. After school, they'll help clean up the yard flamingos and work with a group coordinator who will be share inspiring stories about Make-A-Wish South Carolina and how their efforts are making a huge impact on critically ill children in SC.
At the end of their flocking adventure, they'll receive a certificate of completion and a special Make-A-WIsh Star. Plus our Little Flockers are encouraged to dress up in all things pink and feathery to show their support for Make-A-Wish South Carolina Let's get creative and have some fun while making a difference!
About The OV Flock
November 17th-21st
The OV Flock is a community-based fundraiser that brings families, neighbors and friends together to "flock" local yards to raise awareness and support for Make-A-Wish South Carolina! Flocking is placing dozens of brightly colored flamingos in your yard for all to see!
Our goal is to inspire the Old Village neighborhood to join together in support of Make-A-Wish South Carolina and to help grant wishes for children with critical or life-threatening illnesses. All funds raised through this event will directly benefit the organization - the more yards we flock, the more wishes we grant!
We will kick things off this fall. Stay tuned for opportunities to get involved and support!

About Make-A-Wish South Carolina
Since 1984, Make-A-Wish® South Carolina has joined together with the community to create hope, strength and joy for critically ill children. We are an independent, 501c3 with a clear mission: to grant life-changing wishes to all eligible children throughout the state of South Carolina. All funds raised here, stay here in support of local children.
The chapter has now granted more than 4,200 wishes. Together, with donors and volunteers, 220 wishes were granted so far in fiscal year 2024. Currently in South Carolina, nearly 379 children await wishes (70 in the Lowcountry), and that number increases daily as more children are diagnosed with critical illnesses. All of these children have endured countless doctor appointments, hospital stays and medical treatments. Now, more than ever, they are in need of hope - hope that cannot be filled by a doctor’s prescription
