PENELOPE the Piggy Bank will visit Dandenong tomorrow (Friday) to help raise funds for the Very Special Kids charity.
She will appear at the Dandenong Market between 8am and 11am before moving to Palm Plaza, located outside the McCrae Street side of Dandenong Plaza, where she’ll meet and greet – and oink – at folks from 11.30am to 3.30pm.
Penelope is not your average piggy bank. She weighs in at a whopping 700kg, is almost three metres tall, five metres long and two metres wide.
Vast in size, she also has a big responsibility – to bring home the bacon with a belly filled with donations for Very Special Kids.
This year, the organisation hopes the annual Piggy Bank Appeal will raise more than $1 million.
