Kidney Walk
The NKF's Kidney Walk presents an occasion for dialysis patients, organ transplant recipients, donor families, living donors, the medical communities, and the general public to celebrate LIFE and support the Foundation's mission. 
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.
Gift of Life
The Gift of Life Celebration and Education Day is an opportunity to bring patient and health care providers together to celebrate life. This annual event is hosted in the Minneapolis metro area each spring and welcomes all individuals impacted by Chronic Kidney Disease and Kidney Transplantation.
Great Chefs
Join us for an unforgettable evening as we host the 26th Great Chefs of Minnesota dinner and auction. Enjoy samples from over 20 of the Twin Cities best chefs and restaurants. Live and silent auctions will also be held. The funds raised will support free kidney screenings in our community, CKD research, patient services, organ donation advocacy and patient and professional education.
NKF Golf Classic
The NKF Golf Classic is the nation's premier amateur golf event for charity. Each year thousands of golfers from across the country participate for the exciting competition, valuable gifts, and the chance to win great prizes, all to benefit a worthy cause. With tournaments held throughout the year in virtually every state, there is sure to be an NKF Golf Classic event at a prestigious golf course near you.
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.
March is Kidney Month/World Kidney Day
The National Kidney Foundation has been designed to raise international awareness about one of the body's most vital organs and to let people know who’s at risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and what to do. While no one expects World Kidney Day (Thursday, March 13, 2008) to be celebrated with parades and picnics, the National Kidney Foundation suggests using it as a time to celebrate family and share health history.
