PERSONS who are unable to participate in Sagicor’s Sigma Corporate Run but wish to donate to the worthy cause can do so through two accounts that have been established by the Sagicor Group.
“We want everybody to come and walk or run, but if, for whatever reason, you are in Westmoreland or part of a diaspora in Miami or England and you can’t run, you can donate,” Sagicor’s assistant vice-president for group marketing Ingrid Card said during this week’s Jamaica Observer Monday Exchange.
The accounts have been set up for local and overseas donors and have been opened at Sagicor Bank. The account number for the local account is 0210366061M while the overseas account number is 0210366088.
This year, funds raised from the corporate run will be donated to the Special Care Nursery at the University Hospital of the West Indies, Jamaica Kidney Kids Foundation, and the Sickle Cell Unit at the University Hospital of the West Indies and, by extension, the Sickle Cell Trust in Mandeville, Manchester.
Patrons of the run are Lady Allen, Olympic and world sprint champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, and singer Tessanne Chin. Individuals can pay a registration fee of $1,000 by January 31 to take part in the run. This year there will be 800 volunteers working on the day of the run on February 16, while 400 Sagicor volunteers are planning the event, Card said.
