Kidney Walks

The NKFL hosts kidney walks throughout the year in Alexandria, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Shreveport. The monies raised from these annual events help fund NKFL's programs and services for the under-served and minority populations including a crisis intervention fund for kidney failure patients, a special summer camp for children with CKD, “KEEPing Your Kidneys Healthy” screenings, patient and community health education seminars for over 1.5 million at risk CKD patients, educating the community about the need for organ donation so over 1,900 patients in Louisiana can end their wait for a kidney transplant and advocating on behalf of over 16,000 kidney failure patients and/or their family caregivers who reside in Louisiana.
