Where does the money that is raised go?
The NKF of Western New York, Inc. provides emergency funding for many patients, as well as nutritional supplements, food vouchers, education and literature, health fairs, patient and family seminars, an urban kidney support group, a transplant support group and services, organ donor family council, and a kidney early evaluation program (KEEP). These are just a few examples of what the Foundation does
We would just like to thank everyone who took the time to come out and support the us at our last walk and making it the most successful walk we have ever had. We all had a wonderful time and we hope that you had the same great time. We sincerely look forward to next year and all the promises it brings to us.
