We are looking for volunteers to help with some small duties to keep our Chapter growing, and raise PKD awareness in our area.
Help is always welcome in the following areas:
- Helping on the Wine and Cheese Fundraising team.
- Keeping the Chapter aware of what’s happening in Washington, DC. It’s easy with Foundation emails.
- Working on the Walk for PKD 2012, the signature fundraising event for the PKD Foundation.
- Putting information about PKD in your doctors’ offices.
- Speaking in front of groups speak about PKD at service groups like Kiwanis or Sertoma. These groups usually have a speaker at their monthly meetings, and this is an easy way to help spread the word about PKD. We can supply you with a script, PKD handouts and materials.
PKD Champions - Hard at work on behalf of PKD patients!
Dayton Cincinnati Chapter Champions are continuing a great project to help patients get timely, needed information about Polycystic Kidney Disease. Especially designed a business card for nephrologists and dialysis centers to pass to patients with a diagnosis of PKD. Take a look!
Please contact Deborah Watson at daytoncincinnatichapter@pkdcure.org if you would like more information or to volunteer for one of these jobs or one that you would like to create which uses your talents for the Chapter.
