How To Get Involved
Let the games begin! NephCure has created the Kidney Month Bingo Challenge — a bingo card full of activities for you and your family throughout the month. Complete various activities and mark them off on your card as you go to collect ‘bingo’! You’ll need to complete five activities in a row, column, or diagonal to win. Download the bingo card and see our full Kidney Month Bingo Challenge activity list here.
These activities aim to inspire you along your journey, empower you to share your story living with rare kidney disease, and encourage you to step outside of your norms and take action in the community.
Submit your card with at least one complete bingo row by Friday, March 31 to receive a NephCure prize! Make sure to fill out this form when you are finished with your Kidney Month Bingo Challenge.
All Kidney Month Bingo Challenge activities and instructions can be found here.
Use #NephCureKidneyMonth March 1 – 31
We invite you to participate in the activities we have set throughout the entire month of March, and to join us on social media in the #NephCureKidneyMonth campaign.
As you complete your Kidney Month bingo card activities, you’ll notice some require you to post online. When you do so, make sure you use the hashtag #NephcureKidneyMonth so we can see what you’ve done!
The campaign is intended to spread awareness of NephCure’s services and programs for rare kidney disease patients. Don’t forget when you post your photos to tag @NephCure too!
