Perodua contributes an Axia to raise funds for National Kidney Foundation

2014 Perodua Axia - 22

Perodua has contributed a unit of its best-selling Axia model to the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) in conjunction with the 10th year anniversary of the “World Kidney Day” celebration, and it could be yours to take home!

Yup, for a chance to win the latest Perodua model, the public must participate in the “Spot & Ride” contest, a promotional activity to attract the public to know more about kidney care and the cause of kidney failure.

The contest, which is part of the “World Kidney Day” celebrations that kicks off at Sunway Pyramid from 28th February until 1st March, will see participants contributing an entry fee of RM10 for the chance to win a Perodua Axia.

Each entry would entitle a participant a 30-second window to search and spot for a winning ticket in a Perodua Axia. The ticket can be traded into attractive prizes including goodie bags and discount vouchers as well as a chance to win a Perodua Axia during a lucky draw contest which will be held on the 29th of March 2015.

“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. 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” Perodua President & CEO, Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh said.

“We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate NKF for hosting such programmes apart from helping to ease the burden of the needy patients. As a caring and responsible carmaker, it is an honour for us to be part of this charitable programme – Because You Matter Most,” he added.

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 (as November 2014). Kudos Perodua!
