Join us for an unforgettable evening where elegance meets impact, as we raise critical support for the fight against kidney disease.
Cultivating Change for Kidney Patients
Now in its 44th year, the National Kidney Foundation’s Kidney Ball returns as one of the nation’s premier fundraising galas—this year reimagined as the Garden Gala. Guests will gather for an elegant evening of purpose, celebrating hope and progress while raising vital support in the fight against kidney disease. Together, we shine a light on a national health crisis impacting 1 in 7 Americans and rally our community to advance research, patient care, and organ donation awareness.

What to Wear
This year’s Kidney Ball theme is Garden Gala, think Kentucky Derby at its best!
Bright spring dresses, floral prints, stylish jumpsuits, and facinators or large, decorative hats for women; and pastel suits, bowties, and loafers for men, always adding unique accessories like pocket squares or statement eyewear. Or feel free to wear traditional gala attire (gown or cocktail dress, tux or suit) and add a pop of color!
