About Kiss a Pig Northwest Arkansas
The Northwest Arkansas Kiss a Pig Gala is the American Diabetes Association’s top fundraising event in the nation. The formal affair hosts 1,600 guests to an evening of dinner, dancing, live entertainment, auctions, and the infamous pig kissing ceremony. The 22 year history of the event’s success is largely due to the support of business leaders who serve as candidates. The top fundraisers earn the privilege of kissing the pig at the gala to show appreciation for the animal’s heroic role in diabetes research as the first source of insulin.
Event proceeds are used to fund diabetes research, advocacy, education and support for individuals living with diabetes.
