TruMark Financial® Credit Union’s 7th Annual Kiss-A-Pig Financial Literacy Fundraiser

There are kisses of love and there are kisses for good luck, but on Wednesday, Oct. 4, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., a pot-bellied pig named Raines will pucker up with local business and community leaders in an effort to raise awareness and funds to support financial literacy programs in local schools. The kisses will take place at TruMark Financial® Credit Union’s Seventh Annual Kiss-A-Pig Financial Literacy Fundraiser at the Abington Art Center, 515 Meetinghouse Road in Jenkintown, Pa.

The fundraiser is a component of TruMark Financial's initiative, Building Financial Futures. The fundraiser brings together educators, community and business leaders, and credit union employees to raise money for the privilege of kissing a pig. Funds raised at this event will allow area schools to provide students with the tools needed to learn the basics of personal finance. This information will help them to make informed financial decisions and help to secure a future of financial success.

Admission is free and all are invited to watch the participants pucker up for a worthwhile cause. Special guest Marilyn Russell, of WOGL 98.1 FM, will be the event emcee.
