A note from our president

As president of KidneyTexas, Inc. for 2026 I want to thank all of the friends I’ve made over the years while working together supporting KidneyTexas’ goals. For those of you new to KidneyTexas, we have an exciting year of activities planned for you.  And, if this is your first time turning to our website, KidneyTexas is an outstanding group of women who volunteer and attend fun events which help to fund the beneficiaries we select each year. There is a lot of work to be done to improve the treatment and to prevent kidney disease. ​

​MY VISION FOR KIDNEYTEXAS 2026 is:
  • For members to make friends and have fun while working to raise money for KidneyTexas, and
  • To focus on educating our members about kidney disease in general in Texas, and
  • To feature our beneficiaries to our members and the general public, so they understand where their money is going.
​
We invite you to join us!
