Holiday Campaign 2007 “Party with a Purpose”

The NKFK wants to CRASH your holiday party

The National Kidney Foundation of Kentucky wants to CRASH your holiday party.

  During the holiday season family and friends gather to celebrate and focus on blessings and holiday family traditions, while thousands of people right here in our community are battling kidney disease and waiting for life saving organs for transplantation.

 There is a very good chance that you know someone who has or will develop kidney disease. It could even be you. That’s because 20 million Americans-one in nine adults-have chronic kidney disease. Another 20 million more are at risk and don’t even know it. There are over 97,000 Americans waiting for organ transplants.

 We are crashing Chuck and Sue Fischesser’s party. Chuck is a member of the National Kidney Foundation of Kentucky (NKFK) Board of Directors and he and Sue are the 2008 Gift of Life Gala co-chairs. Chuck and Sue have been personally affected by kidney disease and are very aware of how family traditions are so important in the face of illness. They are generous supporters of the NKFK and want to share with family and friends the importance of giving. Chuck says “I know the importance of gift giving as I have a family member who received a kidney transplant "the gift of life.”

 Chuck and Sue have invited us to provide them with a holiday gift bag to collect gifts from their guests and we have one with your name on it.

 Your generous gift can help improve the quality of life for those living with chronic kidney disease and waiting for life saving organs. Your gift will help continue our statewide programs and services. Please help those with chronic kidney disease and their families enjoy their family traditions.

 The work that we do is reason to celebrate and what better way than for you to help us share our good work and ask for your family and friends to give a gift to help us. At your holiday party, please ask those dearest to you to consider a gift to the National Kidney Foundation of Kentucky. What better way to share the spirit of giving and help the many people in your community who are battling kidney disease.

 Even if a holiday party is not in your plans this season, please consider a holiday gift today. Together we make lives better.

      With gratitude,

      Lisa Allgood
      Executive Director

P.S. Please enjoy your holiday season. We hope you will make a holiday donation to the National Kidney Foundation of Kentucky a family tradition. Honor someone with a gift made in their name-the perfect gift for someone who has everything.
