There are many ways to get involved with the PKD Foundation of Canada. We are driven by committed volunteers – just like you – who coordinate programs and engage their communities to take action. From advocating for patients to helping raise funds for vital research, there are many ways you can get involved.
Three ways to get started:
- Through activities like educational seminars and trivia nights, you can help your local chapter raise money for research and support for those affected by polycystic kidney disease (PKD).
- Connected in the community? You can help raise awareness for PKD by reaching out to neighbours, colleagues and friends to help educate and empower. You can also contact lawmakers and local officials to increase government support for PKD research.
- Support the Walk to END PKD campaign, our national fundraising event. Learn more about the Walk to END PKD, and how simple it is to contribute!
