Welcome to my ZigZite!

Thanks for visiting my website, the ZigZite! I know I'm a little funny-looking, and I realize you've probably never seen a striped pig before. But I have a very important job!

I am the mascot for Children's Chance and an advocate for children with cancer. I visit schools, businesses, and special events. I can be adopted by businesses, schools, individuals and community groups. I also have an educational component. My book, Zig the Pig Goes to School is currently being used in schools across the state to help increase awareness and build empathy for children facing cancer.

 

Now Accepting for 2011-2010 School Adoptions & Service Learning Projects, Sign-Up Your School Today, or Email Us to Find out More or Request a Free Adoption Kit! Call 803-254-5996 for more information.
