The National Kidney Foundation’s 30th Anniversary Authors Luncheon is the largest literary event of its kind in the Bay Area, bringing together those who are passionate about literature and saving lives through kidney disease research, advocacy, and education.

Welcoming nearly 1,000 guests annually, the event celebrates a group of renowned, bestselling authors, and includes many leading corporate, medical, community, and literary partners. Attendees have the opportunity to meet each author during book signing sessions.

Supporters at the $5,000 level and up are also invited to attend the Authors Dinner on November 2, 2018.
