About Feed the Pig
Feed the Pig™ is a national multi-media public-service announcement campaign sponsored by the AICPA and the Ad Council. Featuring Benjamin Bankes, a smartly dressed, adult-sized pig who evokes memories of the piggy bank, the campaign delivers a strong message about the importance and benefits of saving. A dedicated Web site, http://www.feedthepig.org/, provides free financial information and tools to help young “career builders” take control of their finances and build long-term financial security.
The campaign extends the reach financial literacy campaigns – Financial Fitness of Ohio and 360 Degrees of Financial Literacy – to help educate Americans on how financial issues affect them at the different stages of their lives.
