Breaking Records at Pledge 5!

Pledge 5 Foundation has broken a new Gainesville record through ticket sales on Groupon.com for Gator Stompin’!  We’ve sold 1,004 tickets in four days, an amazing accomplishment for Pledge 5!

Gator Stompin’ has been a tradition for Gainesville residents and UF students for over 25 years now, and Pledge 5 is proud to be a part of the Gator Nation’s biggest annual celebration!

We’ve had such great success with our Groupon sales, and our Gator Stompin’ event is still a few months away.  We’re hoping to maybe even break another record by having the largest bar and restaurant crawl in the world!  The current record, according to the Guinness World Records website, is held by a pub crawl made up of 4,718 people in Queensland, Australia.

For those that don’t know, Gator Stompin’ was founded in 1983, and it takes place throughout midtown and downtown Gainesville, along University Avenue.

Over 50 clubs, restaurants, and bars are participating in Gator Stompin’ this year.  All of these places offer free entrance to participants wearing an event T-shirt.  Each participant is given 10 tokens to use for food and drinks throughout the night.
