American Kidney Fund's Partnership with
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

The American Kidney Fund is proud to be a health charity organization of choice in a four-year partnership with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated—the first Greek-lettered sorority established and incorporated by African American college women.

In this dynamic partnership, the American Kidney Fund joins more than 250,000 women of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., to raise awareness of kidney disease and its risk factors through health and education-focused activities.

The American Kidney Fund is deeply grateful for such a strong show of support and we look forward to meeting many more AKA members at upcoming events! Watch a slideshow of the event.
