NKF NY Gala: Mission Possible!
About This Event
Please note - this event is sold out and at capacity. Any registration received after 4pm on 3/22/22 will not be accepted.
The National Kidney Foundation’s New York City Gala is Springing back with a reimagined, engaging, fun-filled spy experience that you won't want to miss! We are relaunching the highly sought-after event, after last year’s cancellation, with a new venue, guest experience and branding but with the same compassion, spirit and generosity! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to join us in raising awareness and resources to help people affected by kidney disease.
The Gala is a night of celebration and support that brings together innovators in the media, medical, finance, and technology industries who recognize kidney disease as a critical public health issue. As one of the largest fundraisers for the organization, this event is crucial to making the mission possible!
The evening will recognize two incredible individuals for their career success and commitment to the kidney community and NKF’s work and mission, Peter Naylor with the Chuck Fruit Award of Excellence and Dr. Kenar Jhaveri with the Excellence in Care award. Past honorees include Ken Zuckerbrot from Greenberg Traurig LLC, Sean Moran from Viacom, and Marianne Gambelli from Disney.
