Visit https://www.instagram.com/piggy_pork17/ to follow their Instagram page: "We would like to give a special thanks to everyone who donated money to Porky. Porky officially raised a little over $800 and after Stephens County matched it we had a little over $1600. This equals up to 10 scholarships for less fortunate kids who can't afford to pay for SLC Camp. Again, a special thanks to everyone who donated, you really made a difference. #smokehammies #sendakidtocanp #smokinhammies"
