The Flying Pigs Foundation
The Flying Pigs Foundation is a 501©3 non-profit, established in August of 2018. We have been raising money to support individuals with muscle diseases since 2009. Our mission is to raise money in support of individuals and families who are diagnosed with muscle diseases in the Greater St. Louis area and promote awareness and education. The Flying Pigs Foundation also awards an annual scholarship and promotes awareness in the local community.
The Board of Directors for The Flying Pigs Foundation is made up of the Hawn and Holler / Bliss families. Our relationship began as neighbors in 2012, in Saint Charles County, Missouri. Shortly after we met, we discovered that our similarities were much different than most families – we both have children who have/had muscle diseases. We have since combined efforts through our Foundation to make a difference in our community.
The Flying Pigs Foundation has a long-standing relationship with the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). The MDA St. Louis Chapter serves children and adults who are diagnosed with a muscle disease.
