Woodstock the Pig, a hand-painted camouflage piggy bank, began traveling with Veterans’ Families United to various Yellow Ribbon Events. The piggy bank received so much attention, VFU partnered with Red Fawkes to develop the concept further. A licensed therapist drafted an ‘Idea Booklet’ that now accompanies each bank when it’s delivered, free of charge, to the awaiting families. This guide showcases how the bank transitions into a therapy tool to aid service members, their families and their children.
Since Woodstock the Pig was such a hit with families, Red Fawkes decided to create something more mainstream for the masses. Red Fawkes enlisted the talents of a local Tulsa artist to reinvent the pig in a charm medium. Proceeds from the sale of “the bio” continue to support the efforts of VFU and their endeavor to provide holistic healing to veterans their families.
