Come out to the  2012 Philadelphia Kidney Walk! Last year, there were over 3,200 participants and raised over $463,000 in the fight against kidney disease in the Delaware Valley.

This year, they are hoping to have more walkers and raise more money than ever.

The Kidney Walk is a day of awareness, solidarity, and fun for the whole family. At the end of the day, however, it is a fundraising event to help meet the needs of local kidney patients. Unlike many walks, they do not charge a registration fee up front. However, they have costs associated with hosting the event at a location as special as the zoo.

They pay for each walker who passes through the gates, and when walkers choose not fundraise, it hurts our efforts to help patients. Therefore, they ask that all adult walkers (ages 13+) raise a MINIMUM of $25 each. We have found that it is an amount that is very feasible to raise, and helps us meet our goal. If you do not fundraise prior to the walk, you will be asked to make a $25 donation at the door to gain admission to the Zoo. Please remember that every dollar counts!

Let's make this the best year yet!
