2023 “Reaching Beyond The Stars” Gala
October 21 @ 6:30 pm – 10:00 pm EDT
The National Kidney Foundation of Indiana invites you to partner with us in celebrating Transplantation at our Annual Reaching Beyond the Stars Gala on Saturday, October 21, 2023 at Crane Bay Event Center in downtown Indianapolis.
The field of nephrology has reached the stars with gains in transplantation. However, there is much more on the horizon and we are Reaching Beyond the Stars to enhance the lives of those impacted by kidney disease. We need YOUR help to reach the next level in educating about kidney disease and transplantation!
About the Event
Join us as we honor two outstanding leaders in their respective fields; Janes Estes, Vice President of PNC Bank and Carrie Phillips, MD, Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at IU Health. These two women have made significant strides in their respective fields that have enabled the NKFI and numerous nephrologists to help Hoosier kidney patients statewide. Your support of these two honorees and the NKFI enables the many free programs provided by the NKFI including Kidney Camp for children with kidney disease, emergency financial assistance, kidney health screenings and more!
