I pledge
My sworn commitment
I pledge introduces a solemn promise or commitment, most familiar from the Pledge of Allegiance recited in American schools: I pledge allegiance to the flag.
The phrase appears in oaths, vows, and formal declarations: I pledge to uphold the Constitution, I pledge my support to this cause.
In fundraising contexts, it commits to a future donation: I pledge five hundred dollars to the campaign.
