We are thrilled to share highlights from our Golfing for Kidneys Tournament last week! ⛳💚 Thanks to your generosity, we raised over $20,000 to support patients in East Tennessee fighting kidney disease.

These funds will go directly to our three core programs:
🚐 Dialysis Transportation Program – reimbursing patients for the cost of getting to and from their life-saving dialysis treatments.
🦷 Dental Assistance Program – helping patients receive the dental care required to be placed on the kidney transplant waiting list.
🍫 Nutritional Supplement Program – providing free nutritional supplements to dialysis patients in 25 East Tennessee counties, made possible by an annual grant from the Akima Club of Knoxville.

A huge thank you to our Board of Directors for their leadership and support in making this event possible—and to every golfer, sponsor, and volunteer who came out to support this mission. 💚 Together, we’re making a difference!

🎉 Celebrating Our Social Workers from Fresenius Medical Care! 🎉

We had the honor of celebrating our incredible Fresenius Medical Care social workers at our Golfing for Kidneys event! 🏌️‍♂️💚

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters and the grants we receive from the Akima Club, we were able to send these heroes back to their clinics with over 18 boxes of Pure Protein Bars as part of our Nutritional Supplement Program. These protein bars will go directly to patients in need, helping them stay healthy and strong during dialysis treatments.

This is just one of the many amazing things your donations make possible through the East Tennessee Kidney Foundation — we couldn’t do it without you! 🙌
