Small WV Town Hosts Flamingo-Themed Party to Support Neglected Children
If you live in the Martinsburg, West Virginia, area, and you’re looking for a way to liven up your Friday night, then head over to the Flamingo Fandango Girls’ Night Out. This block party starts at 4 p.m. tomorrow and will flow throughout downtown Martinsburg, as vendors and patrons alike sport their craziest pink ensemble. You can enjoy a fresh, local meal and browse original art pieces — all while donating to a greater cause.
To raise money for abused or neglected children, the community is hosting this flamingo-themed party for all the ladies in the area. The proceeds will be donated to the eastern panhandle’s Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) group, which is a local nonprofit that works with children in foster care and advocates for them during legal proceedings. Volunteers in this organization are appointed to specific children and then act as a guiding light until they’re placed in a permanent home. By attending this event, you can help fund their movement and improve a child’s quality of life.
The main event will kick off at 4 p.m. and run until 8 p.m. However, the community has organized an after party on the town square, which will last from 8-10 p.m. You can attend both events for $25, or if you just want to stop by the after party, tickets are $15. Whichever option you choose, don’t forget to wear your favorite pink outfit!
