Goodwill Preparing to Take Flight for 2018 PigAbilities Event!

Ohio Valley Goodwill Industries is pleased to be the 2018 Title Sponsor for the PigAbilities event as part of the 20th Anniversary Celebration of the Flying Pig Marathon! Taking place on Saturday, May 5th at 1 pm, the PigAbilities event is an option for people of all ages with disabilities who may not wish to participate in a competitive event, but still want to be part of The Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon weekend.

As the Title Sponsor for the PigAbilities event, Ohio Valley Goodwill is busy working on encouraging as many athletes of all abilities as possible to become part of the 2018 event and making this year’s PigAbilities event one of the best yet. Goodwill is currently working with its own team of athletes in getting ready for the official launch of a new five week training program which will begin on Saturday, March 24th. Already, this year, “Team Goodwill” has 70 athletes and coaches committed to being part of the special 20th Anniversary Celebration of the Flying Pig Marathon and participating in the Pigabilities event. The formal five week training program will help to enrich the athletes’ experience and support their commitment to being active and making healthy life choices.
