SAVANNAH, GA — A pink-themed fundraiser called Flamingo Fest is set for Saturday night at Boomys in downtown Savannah, with proceeds going to United Way of the Coastal Empire’s Community Fund. The event is scheduled for Aug. 22 from 6 to 9 p.m. on West Congress Street and is built around prizes, food, music and a flamingo-inspired dress code.
Organizers say tickets cost $20 before the event and $25 at the door. The evening will include light bites, a complimentary shot, a bake sale, a 3P Hat Bar and Glam Strands by Alexia, along with a prize for the most impressive flamingo outfit. DJ EJ is set to provide music for the gathering.
Fundraiser Details
The fundraiser is being presented as both a community party and a benefit for United Way’s local safety-net work. According to the event description, the Community Fund helps support people and families who are having trouble affording essentials such as food, shelter and healthcare.
The same fund also supports efforts tied to financial security, stable jobs, reliable childcare and safe housing. Organizers said the goal is to turn the themed celebration into direct support for residents across Bryan, Chatham, Effingham, Liberty and Long counties in coastal Georgia.
How It Came Together
Flamingo Fest is also being used to mark the birthday of Savannah influencer Tara Nobles, adding a personal celebration to the charitable event. The organizers’ message centers on bringing a larger crowd together, saying the bigger the turnout, the bigger the impact for the nonprofit fund.
The event’s format leans into that party atmosphere with bright pink décor, prizes and a casual social setting at Boomys. While the fundraiser is open to anyone buying a ticket, the main purpose remains support for United Way’s Community Fund rather than a stand-alone entertainment night.
How To Attend
People interested in going can buy tickets through Flamingo Fest’s event information, according to the notice. The event is scheduled to run from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday at Boomys, which is located on West Congress Street in Savannah.
