The Gift of Life Gala is a celebration designed to honor those who give and receive the ultimate “gift of life” – that of an organ donation.

WHEN

Saturday, November, 7, 2009

WHERE

Northwood Club; Dallas, Texas

WHY

We present the Gift of Life Gala to honor those who have been instrumental in advancing the cause of both NKF and transplantation. We are pleased to honor members of both the medical community and the greater NKF family.

The 2009 Gift of Life Gala will also celebrate the 45th anniversary of transplantation in Texas. In November 1964, Dr. Paul Peters performed
the first kidney transplant in the state of Texas at Parkland Hospital. The pioneering work of Dr. Peters and his transplant team paved the way for years of life-saving work in this critical field.
