4th Annual CORE Kidney Gala

Join us on November 15th at 6 pm at the legendary Jonathan Club for the Fourth Annual Circle of CORE Kidney Foundation Gala, where patients, donors, families, physicians, and advocates unite to celebrate the gift of life and the power of hope.

Together, we will honor remarkable individuals, share stories of courage and resilience, and invest in a future where every person facing kidney disease has access to education, advocacy, and life-changing support.

This is more than a gala. It is a celebration of generosity, stewardship, and the extraordinary difference we can make when a community comes together with one purpose.

A Kidney for Marni: The Gift of Life

Marni Luther is a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend whose life has been profoundly impacted by Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), a hereditary disease that has affected generations of her family.

Today, Marni is in need of a life-saving kidney transplant.

For Marni and her family, kidney disease is deeply personal. They understand both the devastating impact of kidney failure and the extraordinary hope that transplantation can bring. Now, Marni is waiting for someone willing to consider giving one of the greatest gifts a person can give: the Gift of Life.

Living kidney donation offers Marni the opportunity not simply for a transplant, but for more time doing what matters most: being present with the people she loves, watching her family grow, celebrating milestones, and continuing to live a full and meaningful life.

You do not have to be a perfect match to begin the conversation. Through living donation and paired exchange programs, there may be multiple pathways to help Marni receive the kidney she needs.

Could you be Marni's match? Could someone you know be the one?

Please share Marni's story. One conversation, one connection, and one generous decision could change her life forever.
