Our Teams

The NephCure Foundation's goal is to find the cause and cure for the devastating kidney disease FSGS and Nephrotic Syndrome. Local teams are the foundation for NephCure's grassroots efforts. The goal of a NephCure team is to:

 • Provide a forum for sharing, supporting and education for local families & individuals.
 • Participate in fund raising and advocacy efforts. 
 • Assist in community outreach to locate additional families and potential supporters.
