Donate
One of the ways for you to support the National Kidney Foundation is by donating. This can be done in all sorts of ways. You may want to fundraise by creating a Team Kidney fundraising page. This way, you request funds from others as a way of helping to raise more money. You can also choose to donate by mail or online. Choose to make a one-time payment or a payment on a monthly or annual basis. Other ways for you to donate include making a stock donation or donating an old car or truck. If you contact the Foundation, they will help you with making a donation. Even a small amount can go a long way when it comes to supporting those with kidney disease.
Play Golf
Every year, the NKF holds a Konica Minolta Golf Classic. It is an amateur golf event that is created specifically for the charity. Thousands of golfers participate across the country, in over 30 events that are held locally. There’s also the chance to qualify for the National Finals, held at Pebble Beach. If you enjoy playing golf, you can sign up to participate in the tournament. A portion of all entry fees goes directly to the Foundation.
Join a Kidney Walk
The Kidney Walk is a fun way to learn more about kidney disease and spread the word throughout the community. Whether you are a donor, a recipient or simply someone who believes in the cause, you can participate in the walk that is held within your area. You can also create a team, allowing you and friends or co-workers to walk together. The walk is also an opportunity to fundraise. You can raise more awareness about the event by asking people to sponsor you during your walk.
Get Social
You may be surprised by the number of social events held every year, and some may be within the city you live in. Some of the events are black tie while others are more business-focused. If you want to support the NKF, you should find out what social events are being held in your area. You will typically pay to attend the event, knowing that a portion of the proceeds goes directly to the Foundation as a donation. Plus, it’s a chance to meet other like-minded individuals who want to raise money for a good cause. It can be a lot of fun, too.
Volunteer
You can choose to donate your time to the Foundation by becoming a volunteer. Whether you want to volunteer a certain number of hours every week or a large sum of hours one time a year for a specific event, there are plenty of opportunities for you. By volunteering, you’re able to get more involved in your community. More people can learn about the importance of getting tested for kidney disease. You’re also able to share all of the resources that NKF has to offer. Anyway you get involved can make an impact. While it is great if you can donate funds, it isn’t the only way that you can support the Foundation. Get involved so that more people learn about kidney disease. You could end up saving lives in any way that you choose to support the Foundation.
