The National Kidney Foundation's 25th Annual Kidney Ball

On Saturday, March 7, 2009, The National Kidney Foundation held its 25th Annual Kidney Ball. Guests enjoyed special cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, entertainment, and a silent auction. Proceeds, which totaled more than $300,000, benefited the foundation's mission, which seeks to prevent kidney and urinary tract diseases, improve the health and well-being of individuals and families affected by these diseases, and increase the availability of organs for transplantation.
