Ongoing AKF Special Events

Steps That Count

In the fall, supporters of the American Kidney Fund take to the streets in two cities to participate in Steps that Count! Walkers of all ages are invited to join by either walking individually or forming a team.  Individuals and teams can raise money by asking friends and neighbors to sponsor them as they walk the 4-5 mile route in one of our host cities.  What if there is not a walk in your city?  No problem!  You can form a virtual team by choosing one of the cities where a walk is taking place and contribute raised money to that location.  For additional information on our walks email Rhonda Watson, Director of Community Engagement.

Golf Classic

Get ready! Get set! Tee off!  Each year hundreds of golfers in various cities play for exciting and friendly competition, prizes, and the chance to bid on wonderful auction items, all while benefiting a worthy cause.  For golf dates, sites and additional information, please visit our calendar.
