LSU University Recreation Pledges

The goal of UREC Sustainable Pledges is to have you think critically about your participation, and make intentional decisions to participate in a more sustainable manner. Through pledging and sharing of photos, UREC hopes to increase  awareness around the impacts of our every day decisions. Each person that participates and signs up to pledge their time and resources will be entered into a drawing for the following prizes.

How to make a pledge:

  • “Like” LSU UREC on Facebook and submit a minimum of one picture completing a pledge.
  • For Intramural and Sport Club pledges – for each person tagged in the photo, one entry will be submitted for the team. For all other pledges, each individual tagged will receive an entry.
  • Pledges will begin on February 4, 2013 and all photos must be submitted by February 20, 2013.
