Guests will enjoy live music, a cocktail reception, dinner, silent auction and more, for a vitally important cause. This is an evening you are not going to want to miss!
Join us for an electric evening of celebrating and supporting National Kidney Foundation’s recent advances in kidney disease awareness, prevention and treatment!
About The Event
The Kidney Ball is a yearly event put on by the National Kidney Foundation, and one of the largest galas nationwide raising awareness and funds to support the 37 million Americans with chronic kidney disease.
NKF continually strives to better the lives of millions of people each year by working to:
- Advance early detection and awareness of kidney disease
- Improve quality of life by removing barriers to home dialysis
- Improve access and eligibility to transplant
- Fuel tomorrow’s treatment breakthroughs with research and advocacy.
Join us in this work (and have a good time!) today.
