Bridgetown, Barbados- Sagicor has reaffirmed its commitment to national and cultural development by once again supporting this year’s Emancipation Walk.  The annual event holds profound historical, cultural and emotional significance as it recognizes the abolition of the slave trade.

Marketing Manager at Sagicor Life Inc. Alyssa Garnett, underscored the company’s commitment to the cause which continues to draw strong support from across the public and private sectors. “ Emancipation Day is a powerful reminder of how far we have come as a nation. When you think of the strength and resilience that our ancestors have shown to get us to this point, we are once again pleased to be a part of it. We hope this serves as a powerful reminder for the future generations.”

Special Envoy to the Prime Minister’s Office with responsibility for Reparations and Economic Enfranchisement, Trevor Prescod says this year’s walk promises to be more dynamic than ever before with several surprises planned. “The support from Sagicor is overwhelming as we have added to the day's festivities. A number of awards will be bestowed on outstanding Barbadians who have made a significant contribution to civic society and business. We will also have a number of exhibits from motorcycles, go-karts and some skaters. It was an honour to send the request for support and for Sagicor to respond so favourably. We are aware of the growth and the history of Sagicor from all the decades that it has been in existence and certainly we are happy that they have come on board once again.”
