Flagstock Date Set After Raising $500k for Frat Boys Who Protected Flag
A man raised over $500k for a celebratory event, Flagstock 2024, honoring UNC fraternity brothers who protected the American flag. The party will be on Labor Day, free for guests, with the exact location to be revealed later. Thankful Americans supported the fundraiser, organized by John Noonan, aiming to appreciate the patriotic students. The event stems from a viral video of the students defending the flag against protesters.
The man who raised more than half a million to throw a “rager” for the University of North Carolina fraternity brothers who protected the American flag from the horde of pro-Hamas protesters on their college campus has set a date for the party, promising that “every cent of donor dollars” will go to the event.
The event, Flagstock 2024, will be held on Labor Day later this year, and will be free-of-charge for all invited guests. Though the exact location won’t be announced until closer to the event, organizers say “planning is in full swing.”
“These great young guys defended our flag and created a unifying national cultural moment,” said John Noonan, a military veteran with a long career of work for Republican officeholders. “Everyone in America wanted to thank these fine young patriots. On Labor Day, we will get to do just that.”
Noonan raised the money on GoFundMe after video of the UNC students holding up the flag in the face of angry anti-American protesters went viral. The fundraiser, which was closed after a few days, ended up at $515,517, leaving big expectations for the rager that was promised to the fraternity men.

Noonan has set up an organization, Pints for Patriots, to plan and execute the event and says that it will “ensure every cent of donor dollars goes to throwing these fine young Americans the epic rager they earned.”
One of the men who sprung into action said he felt compelled after seeing that his “country’s flag was disrespected in order to advocate for another,” and he posted video of the men getting profanities and projectiles launched at them as they stood strong to protect the flag.
(Thread) Today was a sad yet empowering day at Chapel Hill. When I walked to class, I saw the Palestinian flag raised on our quad flag pole, and was immediately upset at the act that these “protestors” had made.

Country music star John Rich, an outspoken conservative and multi-platinum artist, has been enlisted to lead talent engagement for the event. The event says updates regarding plans for the rager will be posted at Flagstock.live.
“Thank you to Americans of all stripes for their support,” Noonan said after he initially closed the fundraiser. “Done right, it will truly be ‘one for the ages’ — and will inspire Americans all over again.”
