2008 WALK-A-THON REACHED A NEW RECORD
Montgomery, AL – The Alabama Kidney Foundation hosted
its annual Walk-A-Thon on Saturday, August 16, 2008 at
Ida Belle Young Park. Over 200 individuals attended this
year’s event and around $30,000 was raised to help
those suffering from kidney disease in our area.
The 2008 Walk-A-Thon featured a continental breakfast,
snacks, live entertainment and fabulous door prizes. There
was also a live and silent auction, a children’s
area and educational displays to engage the crowd.
All proceeds from the event benefit individuals suffering
from this chronic illness. “Alabama has a high occurrence
of kidney disease,” says Amy Godsoe, Regional Director
of the Alabama Kidney Foundation’s Montgomery Office,
“ranking Alabama fifth in the nation.” Each
year, we try to raise more money to help those who need
our assistance.
The Alabama Kidney Foundation serves kidney patients
by providing financial assistance, education, recreational
opportunities and support services. The Foundation promotes
public education to prevent kidney disease and raise organ
donation awareness.
