Mark Your Calendars!

We’ve been so busy here at the Pledge 5 office!  We’re working on several different events, including “The Pledge 5 Apprentice,” Kanapaha 5K-9, and Gator Stompin’!

 Pledge 5 Foundation will have an open call for “The Pledge 5 Apprentice” on Thursday, Feb. 17, at 7:20 p.m. at the University of Florida’s Rinker Hall, Room 101.  “The Pledge 5 Apprentice” will follow the format of NBC’s “The Apprentice.” Each week, participants will be given a project to complete correlating with Pledge 5 Foundation’s charity drives and events.  Contestants will face weekly elimination based on their performance.  The last person standing will become the next executive director of Pledge 5 and will win a $40,000 compensation package that includes $30,500 cash, housing and restaurant allowance, among other things. All majors are invited and encouraged to attend.

We’re teaming up with the Gainesville Pet Rescue for the Kanapaha 5K-9This event is a 5K race and one mile run/walk that you can do with your best friend!  Running with a dog in the 5K is only recommended for those who have trained extensively with their dog; however, everyone is encouraged to take their companion on the one- mile route. All routes are non-paved, so they’re pet-friendly!

One of our most popular events is Gator Stompin’, which has been a rite of passage in Gainesville since 1983!  At the end of every spring, students and locals get together to celebrate being part of the Gator Nation.  The Official Gator Stompin’ T-shirt grants access to over 50 of Gainesville’s best bars, nightclubs and restaurants, where you are treated to amazing drinks, delicious food and live music!  Don’t miss what the Independent Florida Alligator ranked as one of the top 10 things to do before leaving Gainesville. GO GATORS!

Anyway, we’re currently offering a 51 percent discount on Gator Stompin’ tickets through Groupon.com, so head over there for this exclusive deal, which ends on Saturday at midnight!  Tickets are usually $35, but through Groupon you can get your ticket for only $17!

These are definitely opportunities you don’t want to miss out on!  Visit our Twitter and Facebook pages for more details on upcoming charity drives and events!
