Ohio Members,

 

As you may know, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Flying Pig Marathon
was postpone to the weekend of October 9-11.  

 

So, to help charities raise some additional funds, The Flying Pig Marathon,
sponsored by Stock Yards Bank & Trust will continue until October as well!

 

We will follow the timeline below:

 

March 23 - Paper tickets will no longer be distributed.  Charities may
convert to selling via E-Tickets, if desired.

 

April 24 - Deadline for all paper tickets to be turned into the Piggest
Headquarters.  

 

Please be patient as the Ohio Fundraising Committee along with, the
Affiliate President work out a date for all Chapters to mail in their paper

Please continue to promote the Piggest Raffle Ever via email and by personal
communication efforts at this time. And, we encourage you to reach out to
your supporters on a regular basis!  Remember, tickets cost $5 each and Ohio
will receive 100% of the funds from those "pigs" bought on behalf of our
organization.

 

Note!

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
