Swim with the Drowned Hogs

January 31, 2008 AgentSka

Just when you think you have seen every possible fundraising idea ever, someone comes up with a new one. Some crazy, but kind souls in Pittsburgh are going to jump into the mon (Monongahela river) to raise money for the Circle C Youth and Family Services which is a great organization that has been supporting kids and families for over 40 years.

The Post-Gazette has a video report of last year’s Drowned Hogs Day Swim here. It is pretty funny to see, but it is great that people are willing to go to such great lengths for a good cause.
