Children are the true heroes and heroines in this battle with cancer and we are all touched by their bravery and perseverance.
What Parents and Patients can do…
The Adopt a Pig program is looking for help from children and their families who are in this fight together. This program is dependent on the very personal touch of each patient but we hope that each patient will also experience something when they paint their pig. Piggy banks will be provided by Adopt a Pig and we ask that after one or more pigs are painted (patients can paint as many pigs as they want) they be returned to Adopt a Pig. Pigs will then be put up for adoption and will be purchased by a caring sponsor. Care Tags affixed to each pig will display the first name of the artist and their age, connecting their adoptive parents to the artist, however, no additional patient information will be shared.
If you would like to support this program by painting a pig for adoption, please contact Adopt a Pig. All adoption proceeds and donations after adoption will directly benefit children and families affected by cancer.
