PETALING JAYA: National automaker Perodua contributed one unit of its best-selling Axia car to the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) in conjunction with the 10th anniversary of the 'World Kidney Day' celebration.
Members of the public stand a chance to win the Axia by participating in the 'Spot & Ride' contest as well as raise awareness about kidney care and the cause of kidney failure.
“This collaboration with the National Kidney Foundation is our way to create awareness about the cause of kidney problems and to encourage people to live a healthier life,” said Perodua president and chief executive officer, Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh.
The contest, which is part of the “World Kidney Day” celebrations at Sunway Pyramid, kicks-off Feb 28 and ends Mar 1, will see participants contributing an entry fee of RM10 for the chance to win an Axia. (Terms and Conditions apply).
Each entry would entitle a participant a 30-second window to search and spot a winning ticket in a Perodua Axia. The ticket can be traded into attractive prizes including goodie bags and discount vouchers as well as be submitted as an entry ticket to win a Perodua Axia during a lucky draw contest which be held on Mar 29, 2015.
According to the NKF website, the NGO needs to raise RM12 million annually to subsidise the dialysis treatments cost for 1,509 patients who seek treatment at its 28 dialysis centres nationwide.
“Therefore, all fund raised from the contest and road show will be channelled to NKF which will be used by the kidney patients who are registered under NKF,” said Aminar.
