Corporate teams and individuals are being encouraged to register for the Sagicor Sigma Virtual Run ahead of the deadline, which is this Friday February 12. All registrations are to be done online at sagicorsigmarun.com. The registration fee is JMD $2000 or USD $15.  This year in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the usual staging of the run in New Kingston, which generally garners the support of over 25,000 registrants, will be virtual, giving fitness enthusiasts and persons looking to give back from all across the world an opportunity to participate while contributing to a worthy cause. 

With a $50 million fundraising target, the Sagicor Sigma Run proceeds will be used to procure much needed life-saving medical equipment for the Annotto Bay and Port Antonio Hospitals as well as develop and execute a 1-year educational programme for students who have been significantly impacted by the disruption in face-to-face learning due to the pandemic.

“Every registration fee we collect goes directly towards our beneficiaries”, shared Alysia White, Executive Director of the Sagicor Foundation. “This year more than ever, we need the support of everyone, every registration counts; and no matter where you are in the world, you can sign up and be a part of something worthwhile by giving back and helping children get back on track with their education and contributing to the betterment of the health care system and save lives with these medical equipment”, White added.

If persons require further information they can contact the Sagicor Sigma Run Secretariat via email at [email protected] or telephone at 936-7980-2.  For walk-in queries, the office is located on the ground floor at Sagicor Life Head Office, 28-48 Barbados Avenue, Kingston 5.

Over the past 22 years, the charity event has raised over $450 million dollars for health and child-related charities.
