Pledge 5 Knows How to Party!

Spring break is not over yet, at least not here at Pledge 5 Foundation!  We’re going to be participating in a pool party hosted by The Enclave apartments.  The pool party will be this Saturday, March 19 from noon to 5 p.m.

The Enclave is excited to welcome students back from spring break and  show off their upgraded poolside lounge furniture, so they’re collaborating with several local businesses to throw this amazing party!  The Vault NightClub will provide drinks and entertainment, while Domino’s Pizza, Mother’s Pub and other restaurants will provide food for the pool party.

For general entry, you can donate one canned food item.  General admission gets you into the pool party, but VIP entry, which requires a donation of two canned food items, gets you free food and drinks!

All canned food items will benefit Bread of the Mighty Food Bank!

For more information, visit The Enclave Pool Party Facebook event.  Don’t forget to stay up to date with Pledge 5 through our Facebook and Twitter pages.

5K-9 and Pet Supply/Adoption Drive

The Kanapaha 5K-9 was definitely a big success! The event was held on Saturday, and it was our second major event of the semester.  Because of its success, we’re looking forward to doing another 5K in the near future!

Last Wednesday, Feb. 23, we had a Pet Adoption Party at College Park, where we had about 30 people who stop by.  We provided pizza, and Gainesville Pet Rescue brought two puppies from the same litter.  We’re happy to announce that both of the featured pets were adopted that day as a result of the party, and they got to stay together!  Also, because of the party and the 5K-9, several more pets have been adopted from Gainesville Pet Rescue!

One of the mini-events included in the Kanapaha 5K-9 was the silent auction, which earned $220 towards the Gainesville Pet Rescue.

Pledge 5 would like to thank everyone who made this event such a success!  So thank you to all of the 119 people who ran at the 5K-9, as well as Gainesville Pet Rescue, all of our sponsors and everyone else who contributed to the 5K-9!

Don’t forget, though, the Pledge 5 Pet Supply and Adoption Drive is continuing until Saturday, March 5.  We’re in need of canned pet food, pet toys and laundry detergent, among other pet supplies.  So go to ApartmentsInGainesville.com for a list of pet-friendly communities or either of Gainesville’s Planet Beach locations to donate your pet supplies and receive a gift certificate in return for dog biscuits from Earth Pets Natural Pet Market or for a half-off discount on a home visit from Daytime Dogs.  You can make a difference in an animal’s life today by donating!
