Our Story + Our Mission
Who We Are
We are everyday people, who like most, enjoy having fun and giving back to others. At our core, Pledge + Play is a platform that allows people to participate in multiple forms of play, while giving back to the causes and charities they care about. In doing so, we have developed a community that encourages playing together, while giving back to others on an uplifting and inspiring platform. It is this love of play, and the understanding that play can have purpose, that inspired us to create Pledge +Play.
Why We Are Here
We are here simply for one reason. To make the giving process more impactful, more personal, and more fun! As people are coming together in person at walkathons, or online on crowdfunding sites, we have created an enjoyable experience that incorporates both the fun of being active, with the convenience of giving online. With Pledge + Play’s multiple interactive platforms, we aim to provide as many people possible, with as many opportunities as possible, to give back, have fun, and make a difference.
How It Started
Our founder has been active with sports and the arts much of his life. Alec has performed professionally in musicals, participated in organized sports at numerous levels, and has spent the last several years coaching his son’s baseball and basketball teams. In addition to his sports and music involvement, Alec has been heavily involved with volunteering for organizations such as Big Brothers/Big Sisters, and Special Olympics. With a realization that there was no adequate platform available that made it easy and fun to give back to charities through music and sports play, Alec became inspired to create this one of a kind experience.
