As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary of independence, a unique campaign titled #PledgewithaBuddy is bringing together children, families, and military personnel around the globe in a show of patriotism and unity. Launched by Curly Girly Button Buddies, this initiative centers around Patriot Buddy, a 12-inch plush toy that recites the Pledge of Allegiance, alongside a free printable version designed to make learning the pledge engaging for children.
The campaign, starting on July 4, 2025, aims to collect 250 pledges each month from various settings such as classrooms, homes, community centers, and military bases worldwide. Participants are encouraged to recite the pledge with their Patriot Buddy, whether it's the plush version or the printable paper doll, and share their experiences online using specific hashtags like #PledgewithaBuddy and #PledgeAcrossAmerica.
This initiative is not just about reciting words; it's about understanding the values of liberty, justice, and unity that the pledge represents. By involving a diverse group of participants, from schoolchildren to veterans, the campaign seeks to reinforce the significance of the Pledge of Allegiance as a unifying promise among Americans of all ages and backgrounds.
Curly Girly Button Buddies emphasizes the educational aspect of the campaign, offering resources like the free Buddy Paper Doll available on their website and encouraging participants to upload their stories and images. This approach aims to make the pledge a meaningful lesson for children, fostering a deeper connection to the country's history and values.
The #PledgewithaBuddy campaign represents a collective effort to honor America's past, engage with its present, and inspire its future, one pledge at a time. Through this initiative, Curly Girly Button Buddies hopes to create a lasting impact by promoting patriotism, unity, and service across the globe.
