Registration for the highly anticipated Sagicor Sigma 25th Legacy Run is now closed, with thousands of participants expected to line Knutsford Boulevard in New Kingston this Sunday for the charity event.

With the highest fundraising target set to date, of J$75 million, for its beneficiaries – the Paediatric Unit at the University Hospital of the West Indies and the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts, the Sagicor Foundation is encouraging the public to donate to the cause.

“The team is excited for race day on Sunday and grateful for the tremendous support of the event so far from our sponsors, donors, registrants of the event and well-wishers”, said Michelle-Ann Letman, manager – public relations & corporate social responsibility at Sagicor Group Jamaica.

“The response from the public has been amazing so far, and our team members across Sagicor Group have all rallied around the various fundraising activities too.”
