Sagicor Sigma Corporate Run expands its reach

Kingston, Jamaica: Sagicor Group, the organisers of the annual, Sagicor Sigma Corporate Run, is expanding its reach in 2016 with the goal to raise $50 million, almost double its 2015 target. 

This in an effort to strengthen three beneficiaries: Children with Cancer across Jamaica, the Jamaica Cancer Society and the Black River Hospital Pediatric Unit.

 According to Vice President of Marketing at Sagicor, Ingrid Card, "The well-being of our children has always been the main focus of the Sagicor Sigma Run, now in its 18th year and we will continue this year as we aim to assist with the treatment of children who are afflicted with cancer."

"We have expanded our focus this year to include the Jamaica Cancer Society, as we aim to purchase a mammography machine for their mobile screening programme. We embrace the corporate companies and individuals who have joined us on this mission and have confirmed their participation in this year's Run event," added Card.

"We are collectively and through the donations from the public aiming to raise more funds so our beneficiaries can receive the assistance they need," said Card.
