Yesterday, we celebrated with Vulcan Materials Company, whose team - Walking on Sunshine- won the Team T-Shirt Competition at the Birmingham Kidney Walk! 🎉👕🍕

To mark their win, the team enjoyed an AKF-sponsored pizza party.

We’re incredibly grateful for corporate supporters like Vulcan Materials, who not only champion the mission of AKF through their participation, but also demonstrate meaningful support for employees living with kidney disease. Partnerships like these help make a real difference in our community.

We were told to expect storms…
So of course, the sun showed up instead.
April 25th in the Shoals felt like one of those days you wish you could bottle. And YOU made it that way.

Because of this community, we didn’t just have our largest Kidney Walk ever…
we broke our own record — $307,000+ raised & counting.
Let that sink in for a second.

Kids running the field, footballs flying with University of North Alabama players, the Beat Squad from Florence High bringing the energy, Chick-fil-A biscuits disappearing faster than we could set them down, and a silent auction that honestly outdid itself this year.

But the best part will always be our people.
Our teams keep growing.

Our volunteers somehow get better every year (seriously, how?).
And our donors—big and small, every bit of it adding up to make this kind of impact possible.

And the heart behind this event keeps getting stronger.

A huge thank you to our Walk Chair, Dr. Paul, for leading and always taking the time to teach and guide.

And to our Patient Chair, Rebecca Siery, for showing up, speaking up, and reminding us why this matters.

No fluff, no over-the-top lines — just this:
You showed up. You cared. You made a difference.
And we’re incredibly grateful.
