Kidney Risk Campaign Toolkit for Companies and Volunteers

 
33% of adults in the United States are at risk for kidney disease. That's 1 in every 3 people. Let that number sink in for a minute. It's huge. But while the magnitude of that number is very apparent, when you really stop and consider it, it's lost on most people. To shed light on the potential prevalence of this condition and the huge percentage of people who might be at risk, we ask "Are You the 33%?" in our Kidney Risk Campaign™.
 
We are asking for your help in raising awareness about kidney disease and changing these numbers. Invite your employees, coworkers, and everyone involved in your company to take our one-minute Kidney Risk Quiz to see if they are at risk for developing kidney disease. Share our articles, social media posts, and post our videos to your company intranet to raise awareness.

  • If you post about travel, do a quick rundown of your 33 favorite places to travel and then take the quiz.
  • If you post about food, create “33%” out of food items or create a dish that's one-third orange, then take the quiz.
