Law firm helps Foundation

The Burnett and Brown law firm is hosting a “Flock of Flamingos” fundraiser to “Adopt-A-Wish” through the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oklahoma. Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work.

The wish they chose to “adopt” is for a local Oklahoma child who would like to go on a family vacation to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Their goal is to raise $7,000 by Christmas. Flocks of pink plastic flamingos are being deployed in the front yards of businesses and residents in the Edmond-Oklahoma City area.

For a donation of just $25 anyone can send a “flock of flamingos” to a friend or family member, or to a business for a $50 donation. In order to have the flock removed the recipient must make a donation and then choose the next yard for the birds to migrate to (at no additional cost). There is an option of purchasing “Flamingo Insurance” for a $50 donation; this is the only way to ensure you do not receive a visit from the flock.

For more information, to send a “Flock of Flamingos” to a friend, make a donation or to purchase “Flamingo Insurance” please contact Stacy White swhite@burnettbrown.com or 302-0400.

    Q: Can an agreement be enforced if it is not in writing?
    A: Although it is generally advisable to put every agreement in writing, most agreements can be enforced without written evidence of the deal. Both oral and written contracts can, in the right circumstances, bind the parties to perform.
