We’re raising money to make a difference in our community and show our support for Pennsylvania K9 Search & Rescue, the Village of Reading and the Berks Coalition to End Homelessness.
“Adopt” a piggy for this great cause and be sure to join us on Sunday, June 8, 2025 at 1pm for the official piggy bank release! The pigs will be released into Wyomissing Creek, at 501-547 Parkside Drive in West Reading near the tennis courts at approximately 1:00 pm. This event is family-friendly and open to the public. The first adopted piggy to cross the designated finish line wins. All proceeds raised from those who “adopt a pig” will be split between a participant’s winning pig and the local not-for-profit’s winning pig. You can “adopt” a piggy for the Derby by visiting any Riverfront branch or clicking here to donate online: https://givebutter.com/S9IH0q?s=2SLwDA.
Adopt a piggy today and remember, every donation makes a difference!
