Help Fight Kidney Disease by
Taking the Redskins Charity Challenge
The Washington, DC area leads the nation in the prevalence of kidney disease with 700,000 people affected, nearly 6,000 on dialysis, and more than 1,600 waiting for a life-saving kidney transplant.
You can make a difference in the lives of so many individuals with or at risk for chronic kidney disease by supporting NKF through the Washington Redskins Charity Challenge. The Redskins Charity Challenge is an exciting program designed to leverage the great name recognition of the Washington Redskins to promote charitable giving, both in Metropolitan Washington, DC and across the country.
The National Kidney Foundation is the leader in the fight against kidney disease.
- NKF provides an array of programs and services to improve the lives of kidney patients and their families.
- The Foundation funds more research on kidney disease than any other entity except the federal government.
- The “Love Your Kidneys” public awareness campaign educates millions about risk factors for kidney disease and who should be screened.
- The Kidney Early Evaluation Program (KEEP) has screened – free of charge – more than 140,000 Americans for early signs of kidney disease.
- Public policy programs make patients’ voices heard on Capitol Hill.
- The groundbreaking END THE WAIT! Campaign is implementing strategies that will effectively end the wait for kidney transplants in 10 years.
- Professional education programs ensure that kidney doctors and other health care professionals never stop learning.
