2018 Kidney WALKS Were a Huge success thanks to all our wonderful Walkers and Volunteers!!
Our two Spring 2018 Kidney Walks were a huge success!!!! Thanks to our fabulous Team Captains & their walkers we raised $90,000 that will go to programs right here in our region!!! We could not have made these events such a success without our dedicated Sponsors, Volunteers and Kidney Walk participants. There's still time to make a donation! You have until the end of July 2018 to donate by going to www.kidneywalk.org.

Drive for Dialysis
On May 14th The National Kidney Foundation presented a Drive for Dialysis Program at Boehringer-Ingelheim in Danbury. Boeringer sponsored this event as part of an all day conference for their employees. Employees were invited to come and listen to a short presentation about kidney disease and then over 25 employees stuffed the 100 bags for the patients on dialysis. The bags were then distributed at a dialysis unit in Fairfield. The patients were very pleased with the contents of the bags which included coloring books and crayons, stress balls, water bottles and some NKF information. Before leaving we took some pictures and there was a woman already coloring in the book we had given her.
If anyone is interested in sponsoring a Drive for Dialysis or would like more information please contact Marcia Hilditch.
