We are suckers for a fundraiser here at Wells + Associates. Including when it comes with a Dress Down Day. 🙂 Today’s focus: donating money to the National Kidney Foundation for Kidney Awareness Month.
The National Kidney Foundation is the leading organization in the United States dedicated to the awareness, prevention, and treatment of kidney disease for hundreds of thousands of healthcare professionals, millions of patients and their families, and tens of millions of Americans at risk.
Quick Facts on Kidney Disease
Did you know that:
- Kidney disease is the 9th leading cause of death in the country.
- More than 30 million Americans have kidney disease, and most don’t know it.
- There are over 95,000 people waiting for kidney transplants.
- More than 590,000 people have kidney failure in the US today.
