There are jobs for everyone, big and small. Just contact us at minnesotachapter@pkdcure.org to find out how you can make a difference in the lives of 12.5 million people!

Many of you work at companies with "charitable opportunities" that we may not be aware of. If you donate to the PKD Foundation, be sure to take advantage of matching contributions. But beyond that, some companies have volunteer groups who might be interested in working with us. Some companies hold non profit awareness days and we would be happy to participate. Some of you may be able to help us with company sponsorship of events like the Walk for PKD or Golfing for PKD. If you have any ideas in this area, please contact us at minnesotachapter@pkdcure.org.
