Who We Are
The National Kidney Foundation, Inc. (NKF) is once again proud to present the U.S. Transplant Games. The Foundation is a voluntary health agency dedicated to preventing kidney and urinary tract diseases, improving the health and well-being of individuals and families affected by these diseases and increasing the availability of ALL organs for transplantation. The Foundation has presented the U.S. Transplant Games since 1990. |  |
Our many organ and tissue donation programs signify a commitment to those Americans awaiting life-saving transplants, those who have received transplants and those who donate organs and tissues of their loved ones. In a true celebration of life, the U.S. Transplant Games unites thousands of people from all over the country who represent each of these groups. The Games serve to promote the health and fitness of its participants while showcasing the success of transplantation and highlighting the tremendous need for more organ and tissue donors. The Foundation offers other transplant athletic events, including the U.S. Winter Transplant Games and acts as manager for Team USA to the World Transplant Games. |
