A FLOCKING GOOD TIME THE BIGGEST EVENT YOU PROBABLY HAVEN’T HEARD OF, PLEDGE THE PINK, RETURNS
T
here are some events that dominate the calendar here on Hilton Head Island. Sure, the usual run of things has been disrupted over the last year or so, but as we return to normal, we know exactly what to look forward to in any given month. You know exactly when your favorite food festivals are, when you’re going to get to check out some classic cars at the Concours and when your opportunity to get some PGA autographs will be. We know these events not just for the fun we have, but for the sheer numbers of visitors they
bring to the island. (And we know that because they’re not shy about letting us know). But there’s one event that has quietly drawn thousands of people to the Lowcountry every year, welcoming visitors from every state of the union. It’s called Pledge the Pink, and while you may not have heard about it, legions of faithful “flock stars” certainly have. “We are the second biggest event in the Lowcountry,” Pledge the Pink founder Laura Morgan said, “second only to the Heritage in terms of heads in beds and ATAX.”
