CALLING ALL CHARITIES
The Flying Pig wants YOUR charity to get involved in this year's event! More than 200 charities and non-profits are part of the Pig each year, and we want your group to join in the fun.
Getting involved in the Flying Pig is as easy as 1, 2, 3:
- Get a group together and volunteer to work over Flying Pig weekend. The larger the volunteer group, the larger the donation the Pig will write to your organization!
- Have runners choose your charity and raise money through pledges. From the 5K all the way up to the full marathon, each event has charity runners taking part. It's a fun and fit way to raise money for your group!
- Be part of the Piggest Raffle Ever! Your charity sells $5 chances for our "Pig Drop" and you keep every penny you raise! What's more, if the pig you sell is our top winner, the $10,000 prize is split between your charity and the person who purchased the chance. The more pigs you sell, the better the chances of having a winner! Find out more at www.piggestraffle.com.
