Alabama Kidney Foundation To Host First Walk A Thon In Dothan

By: Stephen Crews

Updated: February 11, 2013

The Alabama Kidney Foundation is proud to announce that its first "Make a Difference... One Step at a Time" Walk-a-Thon will be held on Saturday, March 2, 2013, in Dothan at Northview High School. During the event, over 200 walkers will gather to raise $10,000 for the Foundation's programs and services. This half-day event is a festive occasion with food, prizes, live entertainment, and a children's activities area featuring a moonwalk, face painting and various carnival games.

The Alabama Kidney Foundation (AKF) is Alabama's only state-based organization dedicated to serving kidney patients. The Foundation's programs, which are provided free to Alabama's kidney patients in need, provide tangible solutions to real and, oftentimes, crucial needs. One of the ways AKF is able to provide these services is through the money raised from their annual Walk-a-Thons. Many people suffering from kidney disease depend on Alabama Kidney Foundation programs to help them experience life to its fullest.

This family friendly event offers something for everyone; food, fun and fabulous prizes! If you are interested in leading a team at this year's Walk-a-Thon and helping thousands of Alabamians suffering from kidney disease, please contact Amy at (334) 241-0003 or amy@alkidney.org to register a team today.

The Alabama Kidney Foundation serves kidney patients by providing financial assistance, education and support services. The Foundation promotes public education to prevent kidney disease and raise organ donation awareness.
