NKF Serving Iowa & Nebraska

National Kidney Month and World Kidney Day 2022

March is National Kidney Month and Thursday, March 10, 2022 is World Kidney Day.

Proclamations declaring March Kidney Awareness Month have been submitted to a variety of cities and towns throughout Iowa and Nebraska as well as the State of Iowa and State of Nebraska

Many local landmarks and buildings will change their lighting to orange to celebrate World Kidney Day. Join us LIVE on the NKF Iowa and Nebraska Facebook page at 7:30 PM on Thursday, March 10 to celebrate our Light the Night Orange event and raise awareness for the 37 million adults in the US living with kidney disease.

Wear orange on World Kidney Day and encourage your friends, family, and co-workers to join you! Share photos on social media with #GoOrangeIowa or #GoOrangeNebraska. If you don’t have social media, email your photos to Jonathan Napolitano and we will share them on our Facebook page!

Texas Roadhouse in West Des Moines, Ames, and Cedar Falls is partnering with us again to sell paper kidneys with all proceeds coming back to the NKF Serving Iowa and Nebraska! Go the restaurants anytime between March 9 and March 22 to get your paper kidney and put it up on their wall.
