History
Edmond Memorial’s annual community service project, Swine Week, began in 1986 when a small group of student council members decided that they wanted to make a difference in their school and community. They decided to raise money for a little girl who was in need of a kidney transplant. The students approached the principal, who supported the endeavor and even agreed to kiss a pig if they reached their total of $2,000, and when they did, Swine Week was born.
Flash forward 37 years, and EMHS students have since raised over $8 million for charity. Last year, we raised $336, 328 for The Care Center! Swine Week’s money was able to help the The Care Center increase their resources and employment in order to help heal children after child abuse as well as help prevent child abuse.
