Kiss-a-Pig is a unique and hilarious campaign to create diabetes awareness and raise funds for the mission of American Diabetes Association (ADA). The campaign pits community leaders against each other in a contest to raise the most “votes,” with $1 = 1 vote.  At the end of the campaign, the contestant with the most votes kisses a live pig, honored by ADA as the original source of insulin.

We kiss pigs for saving lives!  Lulu the pig will be kissed on May 21!

The Southeast Georgia/Coastal South Carolina Kiss-a-Pig Campaign will cross the $5 million mark in 2016 for research, information and advocacy in the fight against diabetes.

Kiss-a-Pig enjoys great popularity, having been voted “Best Charity Event” by Savannah Magazine readers in 2015 and 2006 and Best Public Cause by Creative Loafing Magazine in 2001.  Kiss-a-Pig has been featured in Savannah Magazine, Statesboro Magazine and Southern Living Magazine.
