It Was “Kiss & Tell” @ TruMark Financial’s Kiss-A-Pig Fundraiser

TruMark Financial® Credit Union’s Ninth Annual Kiss-A-Pig Financial Literacy Fundraiser was held at the Abington Art Center on October 2, 2019. The event featured business and community leaders who kissed a pot-bellied pig named Raines, to raise awareness and funds to support financial literacy programs in local schools. Radiopersonality Marc Farzetta, from 97.5 FM The FANATIC, kissed the pig and emceed the event. Matteo Iadonisi, community journalist, 6abc Action News, was a special guest who shared insights on the importance of financial literacy, then planted a kiss on Raines while wearing a GoPro camera on his head.

The Kiss-A-Pig fundraiser is a component of TruMark Financial's “Building Financial Futures” initiative.
