The awaited time of the year…Kidney Month!! Thank you to our amazing Circle of CORE. 💙💚

“A single rose can be my garden; a single friend my world.” - Leo Buscaglia

When our Founder & CEO Nanette, and Senior Director Harold faced the darkest moments of their kidney battles, friends and colleagues worldwide enveloped her in love, support, and prayer. Now that they are doing better than ever, let’s pay forward that healing energy to the ones who still need it — like our own Marni Luther, who may one day need her own kidney transplant as well.

Join us for the CORE Kidney Foundation Gift of Life Gala this weekend, October 14, in Los Angeles and help new hope bloom.
