Making a Difference: Aid for AIDS of Nevada
This little piggy went to market. This little piggy stayed home. Aid for AIDS of Nevada’s little piggies raised $20,925.61 to prove that every little piggy does count! In fairness, they didn’t do it alone. They had help from AFAN and some generous donors on a mission to increase awareness, fight prejudice and improve education for HIV/AIDS.
During the Every Piggy Counts initiative, AFAN handed out approximately 500 wee little piggy banks throughout the community. Families were then encouraged to fatten up those piggies with loose change and return them to AFAN in commemoration of World AIDS Day, observed on December 1st each year. Some came back heavier than others–Donny tipped the scales with a whopping $1000 in his belly–but in the end they all brought home plenty of bacon. All donations went to support AFAN’s continual fight against HIV/AIDS in Southern Nevada.
