NW Kidney Kids’ mission is to offer hope and support to children with chronic kidney disease and their families.

NW Kidney Kids

NW Kidney Kids aims to see every child living with kidney disease and their family thrive. Their hope as they engage kidney kids is to teach them to take charge of their health; manage their condition and embrace their future. They strive to build a supportive community where families feel nurtured and encouraged. With a goal to provide a safe, caring environment where everyone in the kidney kid family can learn, grow and realize their potential.

Volunteer and Have some Fun!

NW Kidney Kids finds connection and growth through several programs and offerings and provided the leadership of Pantheon Arts Community Storytelling with a community and family when things were their most darkest.

From a couple camps throughout the year, regular programming that keeps families with Chronic Kidney Disease more connected and educated, an annual run in September called Strut Your Kidney, and the big bash that is Gala every Summer to fundraise and support these families year round - including scholarships for college!

All the events are free for family members, get connected with NW Kidney Kids if your child has Chronic Kidney Disease or if you’d like to volunteer at any number of their amazing events - we’ll be helping them with some programming for the kids though the year, you can too!
