Kiss a Pig--Shirley's Flowers is Puckering Up!

We are gearing up for the annual Kiss a Pig Gala Event at John Q Hammons Center in Rogers, AR! This year's theme is "Mask-Squeal-Rade" so we are using black feathers with their signature red gerbera daisies as the focal point.

The American Diabetes Association holds its annual "Kiss a Pig" Gala to raise awareness and support for diabetes research in Northwest Arkansas. The formal event hosts approximately 1000 guests for an evening of dinner, entertainment, and dancing. The event, which raises over $250,000 annually, holds one of the largest silent and live auction including artwork, vacation packages, autographed memorabilia, event tickets, and gift packages. The event welcomes local business and community leaders to compete in a seven week fundraising contest. In return, the top fundraiser earns the privilege of kissing a live pig at the gala to show appreciation for the animal's heroic role in diabetes research as the first source of insulin.All proceeds benefit the American Diabetes Association of Northwest Arkansas in our work to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all children and adults affected by type 1, type 2, gestational, and pre-diabetes.
