It's that time of year again, to kiss a pig! Don't worry though, it's all for a good cause!

Thursday, the American Diabetes Association will unveil its plans for this year's big event in March.

It's part of the organization's campaign to raise money and awareness for diabetes.

This year's event kicks off on March 9th at the Hammons Center in Rogers.

Last year, the event raised more than $450,000.

The person who raises the most money this year gets to kiss a pig at the event.
