Description

IMPORTANT  PLEASE READ

This event was initially planned around volunteering at the fabulous Pledge the Pink event.  Due to the current pandemic, the Governor has made a decision to cancel Pledge the Pink.  Some of the gals who originally signed up have made a decision to go ahead and camp together that weekend and enjoy each others' company.  The event is now full and not accepting new campers.  

As we get closer to the event, any refunds will be made consistent with the then current state park refund policies but no refunds will be made if canceled within 7 days of the event.

Pledge the Pink, Sister Style

Hunting Island, SC

Oct 15-18, 2020

Location:

Hunting Island State Park, South Carolina. We will also travel to adjacent Fripp Island and Habersham near Beaufort.

Overview:

Join us for four days of SOTF volunteering, camping and sisterhood as we cheer on and support 1500 registrants walking/running 30 miles across 3 different islands in South Carolina! We're looking for fun, feisty, and flamingo-loving sisters to make this the Best Weekend of Your Life! Note that the campsites are only available for Sisters -and your guests- that volunteer for the event. This is not a lazy-ladies weekend!

Background:

Pledge the Pink is the second largest multi-day breast cancer event in the country and is produced by Sister Laura Morgan. The event requires hundreds of volunteers, so Laura and co-host Tammy Matthison reserved the entire State Park just for SOTF! Our goal is to have at least 100 Sisters join us to volunteer for the four-day weekend Thursday thru Sunday. The campsites are booked from Thursday thru Monday, Oct 15-19.

Volunteering:

You'll be expected to work Thursday afternoon thru Sunday mid-morning doing fun things like cheering on registrants, passing out snacks, pointing them in the right direction, and helping us at the daily after-parties.

• Shifts are about three hours per day.
• We do have some sit-down jobs to accommodate those that cannot stand for long periods.
• You can select your volunteer jobs in March and coordinate with your friends.
• When your shifts are done you can either participate in the dozens of parties and ancillary events happening over the course of the four-day weekend or you can choose to relax at your campsite on Hunting Island.
• Event volunteers will receive lunch/brunch on Fri, Sat, and Sunday and will also be given official Pledge the Pink volunteer shirts.

Sign up below to pay for your campsite. The cost is $202.27 for campsite and $197.33 for tent site for four nights at Hunting Island State Park, Thursday thru Monday - Oct 15-19. 

We will email you within 24 hours with a link to select your actual campsite.

Our volunteer coordinator will contact you in March to help you select your volunteer shifts.
