As the United States gears up to celebrate its 250th anniversary of independence in 2025, Curly Girly Button Buddies has unveiled the #PledgewithaBuddy campaign, a global initiative designed to bring together children, families, veterans, and active-duty service members in a shared expression of patriotism and unity. Starting on July 4th, 2025, participants are encouraged to recite the Pledge of Allegiance alongside Patriot Buddy, a 12-inch plush toy that recites the pledge, or a free printable version, aiming to collect 250 pledges monthly leading up to the America250 milestone.
The campaign emphasizes the importance of the Pledge of Allegiance as a unifying promise among Americans of all ages and backgrounds. Through Patriot Buddy, children are introduced to the values of liberty, justice, and unity in an engaging and meaningful way. The initiative seeks to transform the act of pledging allegiance from a routine recitation into a profound lesson on American values and history.
Participants can join the movement by saying the pledge with their Patriot Buddy, child, classroom, troop, or fellow veteran, and sharing their experiences online. The campaign also offers a free Buddy Paper Doll available at www.curlygirlybuttonbuddies.com, encouraging families and educators to incorporate the pledge into daily routines and educational activities.
Curly Girly Button Buddies, known for their educational children's products, designed Patriot Buddy to inspire interaction, creativity, and connection. Each Buddy, recognizable by its colorful belly 'button,' serves as a storytelling sidekick and a comforting friend, making the learning experience both fun and impactful.
The #PledgewithaBuddy campaign represents a unique opportunity for Americans and supporters worldwide to come together in honor of the nation's 250th anniversary, reinforcing the ideals of unity and patriotism that have defined the United States since its inception.
