Gift of Life Gala
The Gift of Life Gala is a black-tie dinner dance that honors an exceptional individual with kidney disease or a leading business or medical professional. The Gift of Life Gala raises awareness about kidney disease and generates funds for the life-saving work of the NKFG. Supporting the Gala is a great way to give to the NKFG, learn more about organ donation and transplantation, and enjoy a night out. 
Health Fairs
The National Kidney Foundation staffers and volunteers travel across the state of Georgia to assist in educating the general public about the warning signs and high risk factors for kidney disease. They also encourage Georgians to sign their organ donor card and look to raise awareness about organ donation & transplantation.
Kidney Walk
The Kidney Walk is a non-competitive awareness and fundraising walk that is produced to educate the public about organ donation, the prevention and cure of kidney disease and urinary tract diseases while raising money for various NKFG programs and services. Everyone is invited to participate and get some exercise while having fun in the process!
Kidney Cars
Instead of looking at it wistfully, you can donate that vehicle to the NKFG Kidney Cars program. We'll tow it away free of charge, and you may even receive a tax deduction. (Please consult your tax advisor for details).
U.S. Transplant Games
The U.S. Transplant Games is a four-day athletic competition among recipients of organ transplants. Competition in the U.S. Transplant Games is open to anyone who has received a lifesaving solid organ transplant--heart, liver, kidney, lung, and pancreas. Bone marrow recipients are also eligible to participate. As much as the Games is an athletic event that calls attention to the success of organ and tissue transplantation, it is also a celebration of life among recipients, their families and friends.
Kidney Early Evaluation Program (KEEP)
KEEP is a free kidney health screening program designed to raise awareness about kidney disease among high risk individuals and provide free testing and educational information, so that kidney disease and its complications can be prevented or delayed.
