Many ways to donate to Sigma ‘Honour’ Run

-

KNOWN FOR turning the streets of New Kingston into a vibrant sea of runners, walkers, and wheelchair users for charity, plans are i n high gear for Sagicor Foundation’s Sigma ‘Honour’ Run, set for Sunday, February 18.

For this 26th year, the fundraisin­g efforts will be used to support three institutio­ns that play an important role in Jamaica’s healthcare and education sectors: The Savanna-la-Mar Public General Hospital, the National Chest Hospital and the Danny Williams School for the Deaf.

Committed to its $100-million fundraisin­g target for its beneficiar­ies, Sagicor Foundation has extended an open invitation to everyone, whether novice runner or avid 5k road champion. With each person’s own donation, Sagicor Foundation said, they are becoming a vital part of “a legacy that touches lives and helps build a brighter future for the many families and communitie­s that depend on the life-saving services of these institutio­ns”.
