    “Pigs on Parade” campaign launched with invitation from Jack & Jill to find the pigs and perhaps adopt one!

    By jackjill_1y5sbe | Latest News | Comments are Closed | 3 February, 2015 | 0

    A unique “Pigs on Parade” art display was launched on February the 2nd, with 100 pieces of pig art to find on the streets of Dublin throughout February & March 2015 in aid of the Jack & Jill Foundation!

    Pigs-On-Parade-2015
    The pigs are available to be sponsored or purchased from www.pigsonparade.ie and we are inviting people to find the pigs, which are individually coded, and to enter a fun competition. The hand crafted pigs are designed to become highly collectable and valuable works of art. People can follow the Pigs on Parade via Facebook, Twitter (using #PigsonParade) and Instagram.
    “With less than 20% of our funding coming from the State and this recent, blunt cut in our Lotto funding from €75,000 to €30,000, we rely more than ever on creative fundraisers like this. We have supported over 1,800 children and their families across every community in Ireland with home nursing care and respite since 1997. A wonderful campaign like this means a lot to our families in terms of reminding them that there are artists out there, ready willing and able to use their skill to produce a wonderful parade on pig pieces of art like we have now, all in aid of Jack & Jill families. Pigs on Parade allows us to raise awareness and funds for Jack & Jill and have some great fun and appreciate some wonderful artwork in the parade.” – Jonathan Irwin, CEO
    At the launch were broadcaster and journalist Brendan O’Connor and Jack O’Leary (age 5) and Emma Farrell (age 3) whose siblings receive home nursing care from the Jack & Jill Foundation. They were joined also by Jonathan Irwin, CEO and Founder of the Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation in the Botanic Gardens Dublin, along with 10 of the 100 pigs to go on parade this week in Dublin and some of the artists involved.

    Pigs on Parade
