Mission Statement:
The purpose of KidneyTexas, Inc. is to provide funding to
improve the methods of treatment, the search for a cure and
prevention of kidney disease and other kindred or
contributory diseases; and to develop more adequate
provision for the care of persons suffering from such
diseases.
Statistics:
Debilitating kidney diseases impact approximately 20 million
people in the United States today. Groups at high risk
include African Americans, Hispanics, senior citizens and
people with diabetes. In Texas, there are over 30,000 people
on dialysis and 4,000 on a transplant list. The number of
patients on dialysis is anticipated to double this decade.
History:
Since 1999, the dedicated volunteers of KidneyTexas, Inc.
have worked in tandem with our generous underwriters to
raise over $3.5 million for local efforts to improve the
ability to diagnose and manage kidney disease.
Each fall KidneyTexas, Inc. hosts its Luncheon & Style Show
in an effort to raise money for designated beneficiaries and
awareness for a disease that affects millions of people each
year. The success of this event depends heavily upon the
contributions and dedication of our Dallas business and
community leaders. Your support is crucial to the success of
our mission.
