Events

From fundraising to educational outreach, we host and participate in many events throughout the year. Join our community -- learn more about what we do and the patients we support.

Raising money

As a nonprofit, we put your gifts straight back into carrying out our mission. Your help means we can provide services to patients and our community above and beyond basic patient care. Our two annual fundraising events, the Breakfast of Hope and Discovery Gala, give us a chance to share our work with the community, and to raise money for these additional programs that simply wouldn’t be possible otherwise.

 

Raising awareness

Education is a key part of our mission. We want people in our community and beyond to understand what kidney disease is, how to stop it or slow it down and the different ways to treat it. In addition to offering classes for patients at all stages of the disease, we also hold and participate in outreach events, letting people know that it is possible to live a full life with kidney disease.

Where your money goes

As a nonprofit, we’re owned by the community. Funds raised through our special events go directly to patient care services, educational outreach and life-changing research. Your support impacts:

  • Charity care — additional support for those in need
  • Emergency grant program — support for nutritional supplements, medications, transportation, food and shelter
  • Groundbreaking research — current studies on drug therapies and innovative technologies that could give patients more options for treating their kidney disease
  • Educational outreach — free, specialized classes at Northwest Kidney Centers for people at all stages of chronic kidney disease, from pre-dialysis patients to transplant recipients

The 15th Annual Breakfast of Hope a huge success!

This year’s Breakfast of Hope raised $377,993 in support of charity care and services targeted at diabetes.

Thank you to the community and to our corporate sponsors for their generosity!
