During the month of September, SIGA matched all donations to the By Your Side Kidney Campaign up to $100,000 which resulted in $69,357.85 in pledged donations.

Overall, the campaign raised a total of $358,176.18, with donors inspired by SIGA’s contribution.

The By Your Side Campaign is committed to raising $10 million through the campaign to realize health initiatives that will save lives and reduce the impacts of early onset kidney failure.

“The Campaign was a natural fit for SIGA’s commitment to community, as it addresses a critical health challenge in Saskatchewan. Chronic kidney disease now affects 1 in 10 people in the province, with 1 in 3 Indigenous people impacted by the diagnosis. As a major First Nations employer in the province, we have seen chronic kidney disease impact our staff members and their families,” said Vice President of Human Resources and Corporate Relations Desiree Gervais.
