About Our Donors

Ashley Croshaw

Ashley Croshaw celebrated her 11th birthday in November. Instead of receiving gifts from friends at her party, she organized a fundraiser. In place of gifts, she asked 14 friends to bring donations for two of her favorite charities, one of which was Northwest Kidney Centers.

She chose Northwest Kidney Centers because, in a nutshell, they "saved my dads life!" Tyler Croshaw was on dialysis at Snoqualmie Ridge Kidney Center for seven months before receiving a transplant in July 2009. Ashley's other charity of choice was Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, since she lost her uncle to kidney cancer just 2 1/2 years ago.

Northwest Kidney Centers keeps people in the Seattle area alive with dialysis care, educates the public about kidney health, and collaborates with UW Medicine in the Kidney Research Institute. We are one of very few community-based, nonprofit dialysis providers in the country. Founded in 1962, ours was the first out-of-hospital dialysis program in the world and it is still a model in the field.
