Kidney Action Day activities include free health screenings (kidney disease, hypertension, diabetes, etc.), health education, healthy cooking demonstrations, food samples, fitness instruction, entertainment and various family-friendly activities. In some cities, we also hold our Kidney Action Day Walk fundraiser during Kidney Action Day. All these events are part of Pair Up: Join the Fight to Prevent Kidney Disease, our national campaign to increase awareness of kidney disease and to encourage individuals to get/stay healthy.
We are looking for general and bilingual volunteers, groups, allied health students and healthcare professionals to assist with the following:
- Event logistics—set up and break down
- Vendor registration and assistance
- Information booth
- Screening participant registration and crowd control
- Post-screening counseling
- “Ask the Expert” panel
- Assistance with children’s activities (face painting, clown, juggling, etc.)
- Crowd engagement
Please fill out the form below and let us know how and where you'd like to help! One of our staff members will contact you. Thank you!
