Northwest Arkansas’ finest community leaders competed for the chance to kiss a pig to recognize it for producing the first source of insulin for people with diabetes at American Diabetes Association of Arkansas 16th annual "Pigment of your Imagination" Gala. In return, the top fundraiser earns the privilege of kissing the pig at the gala to show appreciation for the animal’s heroic role in diabetes research as the first source of insulin.
Event proceeds were used to fund diabetes research, advocacy and educational programs for all children and adults with type 1, type 2, gestational and prediabetes in Northwest Arkansas.
