Their support means the world to us.
As we prepare for 2024, we want to take a moment to acknowledge the incredible support we’ve received from our Presenting Sponsor, Otsuka Canada Pharmaceutical Inc.
It is an exciting year for Kidney March, our 15th anniversary. We have big plans, powerful goals, and we could not be more thrilled that Otsuka Canada Pharmaceutical Inc. will be an integral part of it once again.
We are excited to announce that Otsuka Canada Pharmaceutical Inc. is our Presenting Sponsor for the 2024 Kidney March. They have supported our walks in many ways for almost ten years and we are grateful for their commitment to research and improving the lives of patients. Their level of support again this year is monumental in helping Kidney March make the most significant impact possible for those in our community living with kidney disease and the future of kidney disease.
“On behalf of myself and our team, we are happy to be supporting the Kidney March again this year. It is a privilege to be able to support an organization that raises awareness of the importance of kidney health and screening, and fights against kidney disease,” said Michael Laranjo, President & General Manager of Otsuka Canada Pharmaceutical Inc.
In addition to Presenting Sponsor, on the first day of Kidney March, Otsuka employees will carry on their tradition of sponsoring your Day One Lunch Stop. Helping hand out lunch to our hungry Marchers and Crew.
Otsuka employees share a unique and tireless passion to help enhance the health and quality of human life around the world.
Over the years multiple Otsuka employees have also marched the full 100 km alongside you. “Seldom in one’s career do you get to be part of something so powerful. I came to Kidney March thinking I was handing out a few sandwiches at a charity event and was blown away by the people I met — their struggles, people they have lost, and their dedication. Everyone was positive and smiling no matter their personal circumstances. There is nothing like Kidney March.”
