Our goal is to raise $1 million to accelerate research, expand patient support programs, and ensure that life-changing treatments reach those who need them most.
Attendance by industry representatives is available exclusively through corporate partnership opportunities. Please contact Britta Dornan at bdornan@nephcure.org for more information. Thank you.
