The Winner of This Year’s Kiss-a-Pig Campaign Will be Announced on May 10

May 9, 2014 - PRLog -- The American Diabetes Association’s most important fundraiser of the year comes to an end with a blow-out Gala on Saturday, May 10 at the Hyatt Regency Savannah. The winner of the 22nd Annual Kiss-a-Pig Campaign, sponsored by New River Auto Mall Luxury Group (http://www.newriverautomall.com/community-involvement/), will be announced at the event, and the public is invited to join in the festivities, highlighted by the grand spectacle of the winning team actually kissing a pig.

The Kiss-a-Pig Campaign is a contest between community leaders to raise the most money in support of the ADA over a period of 3 months. The winning team receives the honor of kissing a live pig. Why compete to get so up close and personal with a pig? Because the pig is honored by the ADA as being the original source of insulin, which as most everyone knows is crucial to the treatment of those suffering from diabetes.

Local coastal Georgia area teams participating in this year’s Kiss-a-Pig Campaign were formed by a diverse mix of professionals from Chatham, Bulloch, Effingham, and Liberty Counties. They staged a variety of fundraising events during the 3 month period competing to see who could raise the most money for the ADA.

All of the money that is raised during the Kiss-a-Pig Campaign goes to benefit the many important programs and ongoing efforts of the American Diabetes Association. The ADA is the country’s leading organization dedicated to finding a cure for diabetes and providing support for those affected by this debilitating disease.
