The Pledge
community Seal
Your Values. On Display.
The Pledge Community Seal is a visible commitment to being an active part of The Central Florida Pledge Network.
It tells customers and employees: “This is a place where everyone is valued and respected.” Businesses and nonprofit organizations who display the Seal are recognized as trusted community leaders—those who live the values of the Central Florida Pledge, not just talk about them.
