Mixin' & Minglin', MUBbin' & Scrubbin', Prankin' & Poker Playin'!

We’ve had a very busy week here at Pledge 5 Foundation, but we’ve also had a lot of fun!  In addition to preparing for our second annual “Taking It Off For Charity” Poker Tournament, we also held our Pledge 5 Community Mixer, which took place on Wednesday night at Sharab Lounge.   Our new interns got to “mix and mingle,” Pledge 5 Gators brought new spring recruits, and various community members who support Pledge 5 Foundation came out to hear about the exciting events and drives we have coming up this season!

Several members of Pledge 5 Foundation and Pledge 5 Gators went to the University of Florida last Friday to clean the music building for our first Pledge 5 public service event, the “MUB Scrub.”  After the event, a few of our interns participated in the Dorm Prank contest sponsored by ApartmentsInGainesville.com.  They started in Beaty Towers, blocking the entrance to the dorm by pretending that they were frozen.  Because they were “frozen in time,” as they described it, some of the residents had a difficult and very awkward time trying to get into the building.  To finish off the night, they sang a song about Pledge 5 in the elevator and to a confused Beaty resident. Check out the videos here and here!

We’re also starting a campaign called “Stock Our Office!”  As you know, Pledge 5 Foundation is a nonprofit organization that promotes public service through events, charity drives and other community initiatives.  Unfortunately, our office is lacking a lot of materials and equipment that we really need!  So we’re offering logo placement on marketing material, promotional opportunities at our events and online marketing opportunities to those who wish to contribute.  Our current “Wish List” includes office supplies, chairs, a desk, a couch, a water cooler, lamps, an area rug, wall art, plants, etc.  If you’re interested in donating any of these materials (or anything else you can think of!) please contact Pledge 5 Foundation Director Ben Fox at (352) 577-8667 or ben@pledge5.org.

By the way, our “Taking It Off For Charity” Poker Tournament is in just two weeks, so practice your pa-pa-pa poker face!  And make sure you follow us on Twitter and Facebook because we’ve got some fun contests coming your way to win free VIP tickets!
