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 in which they did, Swine Week was born.
Flash forward 37 years, and EMHS students have since raised over $7 million for charity. Last year, we raised $204,000 for Keaton’s Kindness Foundation! Swine Week’s money was able to help the K-Klub by spreading kindness to the community of edmond and renovating the YMCA gym at the Rankin location.
2022 Swine Week Recipient
2022 marks the 37th year of serving our community through this philanthropic venture, and we would deeply appreciate your support in our mission to help this year’s recipient, The Care Center of OKC. The Care Center is Oklahoma County’s only child advocacy center. They are committed to helping children find their voice and begin to heal after abuse, as well as preventing child abuse through education.
The funds from Swine Week will help support The Care Center by providing an opportunity to hire and train more counselors in order to better serve children and families in our local community.
Common Thread Recipient
This year, the three Edmond High Schools decided that we would try to unite for our 2022 philanthropy weeks. We came up with a plan to give 5% of our totals to the common thread. Our Common Thread this year is Limbs 4 Life.
