Today our PA classes of 2016 and 2017 took some time to donate to the Kidney Foundation and have some fun at a kickball tournament. Our team names were Hello Kidney and Keepin' It Renal =p Even though both our teams did not win in the first round, we still had fun and enjoyed supporting each other's teams! Some of our classmates were kickball All Stars and it was so much fun to watch! I love taking part in fundraisers and activities like this because it is a nice change up from the typical 5K or bake sale. I hope to participate in more of these events in the future even after I become a PA.
All the proceeds went to dialysis patients in the regional area. In addition, a company called Twill donates blankets to these patients that are 100% cotton to keep them warm during their sessions. Twill is a company that originated in Albany to give blankets to children in need. They also donate to many other organizations in the Albany area, check them out in the link below!
I also posted a link for the 5K the Northeast Kidney Foundation has coming up on June 14th! Feel free to contact me if you are interested in going and I will gladly join you!
