A Pairing for Prevention: Boston
A Pairing for Prevention is a unique evening of beer and food pairings while we work to increase public awareness of kidney disease and raise funds for patients in need. Don't miss this great opportunity to mix, mingle and network with Boston's business and community leaders.
For the 11th year, the American Kidney Fund (AKF) presented a unique networking event featuring a New England culinary adventure. A Pairing for Prevention showcased an array of beverages paired flawlessly with delightful hors d'oeuvres and desserts. This event raised critical funds and awareness for AKF's mission and programs.
Take a look at all the fun we had together during the 2025 Pairing for Prevention: Boston event!
