2023 Pledge The Pink
Join Margaret Rudd & Associates, Inc., REALTORS® and a flock of flamingoes as we help kick cancer to the curb with the 2023 Pledge The Pink event in Oak Island, North Carolina. As a host sponsor for the 2023 event, we encourage all guests participating in the 3-day event to do their part to "give back" by booking with our Give Back Promo.
About Pledge The Pink
In 2011, Pledge The Pink was a small, local charity race aimed at fighting cancer in South Carolina and getting the lowcountry in shape. Since that time, this event has grown into an ambitius, not-so-small breast cancer event. Through this event, Pledge The Pink has not only gotten 15,000+ off the couch each year but it has donated over 1 Million dollars to charities all across the country!
Through the Pledge The Pink Foundation (formally known as Carolina Cups), these every important funds provide gap funding for heroic, budget-restricted, nonprofit service providers.
