KINGSTON, Jamaica—Jamaica Reach to Recovery, in its staging of the 2026 Pink Run, will receive $1 million in support from Salada Foods Jamaica.

The manufacturing company continued its support by fielding its largest team ever for the five-kilometre run and walk on Sunday, October 25, 2026.

General Manager of Salada Foods Tamii Brown said the total support was valued at $1 million, including the $250,000 cash injection directly to the charity that works to improve the quality of life for women diagnosed with and/or who have survived breast cancer.

Brown said the company is proud to support the cause and Jamaica.

Breast Surgeon & Breast Surgical Oncologist Dr Jason Copeland presented a Jamaican perspective on the treatment of breast cancer at Salada Foods Jamaica staff Wellness at Work session.

“We [Salada] believe in leaving a footprint that we’re proud of and in finding partners with whom our hearts are aligned and continue to partner with them. Every year we sign up our team as a way of giving back. This happens in two ways — one is again about the health and wellness of our team members, and two is the spinoff benefit to continue supporting Jamaica with these contributions,” Brown explained recently after a Wellness at Work Session at the company’s Bell Road factory.

The production lines paused at Salada Foods Jamaica as employees made time for the final session of the three-part wellness at work series.

Held under the theme “A Healthier You is A Stronger Us”, the staff had presentations on financial, emotional, and physical wellness. The last session featured Breast Surgeon & Breast Surgical Oncologist Dr Jason Copeland and Chairperson of Jamaica Reach to Recovery, Carolind Graham. The session aimed to prioritise the staff’s knowledge of practical health information, breast cancer awareness and access to screenings.

For the final session of Salada Foods Jamaica Wellness at Work session, staff were able to access health screenings and tests at the Bell Road factory.

“Looking at health and wellness in its wholesome is part of our commitment to cultivate healthier behaviours and healthier lifestyles in our staff members,” Brown said. “Even if you’re feeling healthy today, feeling peak wellbeing, do the tests because knowing helps to make informed decisions and take action where needed.”

The session was an extension of earlier discussions about the pressures employees face beyond the workplace. Financial wellness presentations covered saving, preparing for retirement and estate planning, including wills and arrangements for loved ones. Contributors included representatives of the Administrator-General’s Department and Salada’s financial controller, Michael Murray.

Counselling psychologists Raquel Wynter Blake and Paul Blake led the emotional wellness component, focusing on stress, mental health and ways to cope with everyday demands.
