Sandals Foundation raises £300,000.00 for charity

The Sandals Foundation has successfully raised £100,000 after hosting its historic
4-day ultra-marathon charity event. With scores of Sandals Resorts team members,
guests, private sector representatives, and residents participating in the Half
Marathon and 10K walk components on Saturday, October 14, more than 200
people joyfully crossed the finish line and bid their support for the cause.
Proceeds of the event will help bolster the capacity of the Neo-Natal Intensive Care
Unit at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre, as well as the Endowment Fund of the
SickKids Caribbean Initiative – a partnership that connects health care in Toronto,
Canada with seven Caribbean health institutions – making it possible for doctors
and nurses to exchange information and better diagnose and treat children afflicted
by cancer and serious blood disorders.
More than 50 local and international partners joined the philanthropic
organization’s effort to raise funds, including TickeTing App, Digicel Group,
Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority, Anjo Wholesale, British Airways, Mail
Metro Media, Runners World and Good Housekeeping Magazine, Northstar
Meetings Group, Corpay, Hays Travel, 7Stars, EMC3, Upsandowns and UYN.
