Make a difference in the lives of 12.5 million people.
Did you know that the lion’s share of money for PKD research comes from the federal government funding? More than 600,000 people suffer from PKD, yet it receives less in federal research funding than other far less prevalent genetic diseases. We need a volunteer to head up our Advocacy and Awareness Leadership position who will take an interest in how we as grass-roots citizens can help raise the standard of money allotted to PKD by the U.S. government. Could it be you? Our staff PKD Advocated in Washington D.C. is looking for volunteers to help promote this need to our government officials. Please think about devoting time to this very important issue.

SAVE THE DATE! 2013 Walk for PKD September 21
Bring the family to a fun-filled event to raise $40,000 for a CURE for PKD!
Location: River Park in Brentwood
1100 Knox Valley Rd.
Join us for the Walk for PKD on 9/21/2013. Registration is now open at walkforpkd.org/nashville. There are also many great ways to help support the event as a volunteer including: day-of-event support, securing an in-kind donation, connecting us with a potential sponsor, communicating with participants, distributing promotional materials, serving on the planning committee and more. If you would like to volunteer please email us at nashvillewalk@pkdcure.org.
Plan your own Event!
All of the events that take place in the Nashville PKD Foundation Chapter, large or small, only happen because someone decided to organize them. We are always receiving checks for $50 to $500 from people who have put together a craft fair, bake sale, gotten their business to sponsor a casual day or any of a dozen other things.
There are also people who have decided they have the time and energy to put on a major event or who are connected to church or school group who help them put on a major event. Many other charities are starting to connect with sororities, fraternities, or other social organizations to put on an annual event and you can too!
If you have an idea for an event that you would like to put together, or if you have a business, church or community group that may like to get involved, please contact us at nashvillechapter@pkdcure.org and we'll help you get the ball rolling.
