Ohio Valley Goodwill Announces 2021 Title Sponsorship of PigAbilities Event in partnership with Pig Works!

Ohio Valley Goodwill is pleased to announce that for the fifth consecutive year, Ohio Valley Goodwill is once again the Title Sponsor for the PigAbilities event as part of the 2021 Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon. PigAbilities is an empowering option for athletes of all ages and abilities who want to commit to going the distance by making healthy choices in their lives. During a typical year (pre-COVID), the PigAbilities event would take place when there are fewer crowds, increased accessibility and more parking. This year, like last year, Pig Works is offering Virtual options for the Spring with a hoped-for in-person event taking place the week of October 29th-31st in downtown Cincinnati. The Virtual events are slated to begin May 1st but athletes can choose their own schedules to meet their needs. Ohio Valley Goodwill is working with its team of athletes served by the organization to begin training in the next few weeks in preparation for the May events. Just like 2020, a formal Medal Ceremony will take place at Ohio Valley Goodwill’s corporate headquarters following the finish of the 2021 PigAbilities one mile event. During the Medal Cermony, each athlete will receive a PigAbilities medal to commemorate their achievement.

There is also a wonderful video on the PigAbilities page featuring Nicole White and her daughter talking about how important the PigAbilities event is to them. Please take 1 minute to watch and be inspired! Plan to join Goodwill in planning Virtual PigAbilities events this Spring, kicking off the weekend of May 1st.

PigAbilities is an empowering option for athletes of all ages and abilities who want to commit to going the distance by making healthy choices in their lives.   In 2019, the PigAbilities event broke all previous records for participation with more than 400 athletes choosing to finish the final mile of the Flying Pig Marathon. That year,   more than 50 athletes supported by Ohio Valley Goodwill participated in the Pigabilities event and the post-race celebration and loved it. While last year’s ” virtual” event only welcomed six dedicated athletes directly affiliated with Goodwill, other athletes in the Greater Cincinnati community chose to create ” virtual” PigAbilities events in their home communities as well. Ohio Valley Goodwill is grateful to Pig Works for their support of the 2020 ” virtual” PigAbilities event and are very proud of the athletes who accomplished their personal goals. Team Goodwill is very much looking forward to the 2021 Spring Virtual events. For more information about PigAbilities, visit http://flyingpigmarathon.com/events/pigabilities/.
