In support of AFAN, community members may adopt ceramic piggy banks to “fatten up” throughout the year and empty at any of AFAN’s quarterly “Pig Out” events, leading up to the final Pig Out on World AIDS Day, Dec. 1. Each piggy comes with a paint pen and can be decorated, painted or bedazzled to fit in at home or at the office. Pre-decorated piggies designed by select art students from Las Vegas Academy are also available. Baby piggy banks are available for children as a fun way to teach about fundraising. Pigs are always available for adoption at the AFAN offices at 1120 Almond Tree Lane.
