NMlA Airports Limited contributed $300,000 to the Jamaica Environment Trust (JET), one of the beneficiaries of  its fourth annual fund-raising NMIA-Palisadoes Walkathon held on Saturday, November 17^th, 2007.  

The funds were a contribution towards JET’s annual beach clean-up of the Palisadoes Strip in observance of International Coastal Clean-up Day, celebrated annually on the third Saturday in September. 

In handing over the cheque, Mr. Earl Richards, CEO of  NMIA Airports Limited emphasized the importance of maintaining the structure, as well as the beauty of the Palisadoes Strip.   

“NMIA is the prime gateway, serving the nation’s capital, as well as the south and east coasts of the island,” Mr. Richards said. 

“Our airport continues to make a significant contribution towards the maintenance of our environment, and the development of Kingston as a tourist destination.”  

JET has been a recipient of the NMIA-Palisadoes Walkathon fundraising event since its inception four years ago.  This year JET conducted its 14^th annual clean-up of the Palisadoes Strip which attracted approximately 300 participants.
