The Kidney Foundation hopes its latest fundraising effort will be a strike.
The “Share a Spare”, according to regional Community Engagement Manager Krysta Gendreau, will allow for the foundation to do what they do best, and that’s eliminating the burden of kidney disease for those going through their own medical battles. She says as the need for those travelling becomes so much greater over time, they’re hoping to help bridge the gap for those going through long term treatment.
“What that means is support in real life. People come to us for financial assistance, we give out gift cards for groceries, gas, medication,” she says. “If they have appointments in Edmonton for treatment, they need money to get there, it’s a full time job being a kidney patient, and we need help to support them,”
Currently, there are three spots open for the 10-pin extravaganza, with the cost of a team of six member setting you back $400. But, if bowling is not your thing, they have non-bowler tickets available that gets you food and a drink.
The event takes place September 26th at Bowling Stones, and you cou can buy tickets or register a team on the Kidney Foundation website.
