This World Kidney Day, we're thrilled to announce that we've expanded our mission.

In addition to funding life-saving research, we're providing educational outreach to our local communities and beyond. We're also supporting and inspiring the next generation of nephrologists and researchers—starting with the amazing students from USC KDSAP.

With your help, we can get our new programs off the ground. https://ukrocharity.org/donate/
