Are you a transplant recipient, living donor or a family member of a deceased donor?

If the answer is YES, you could become a member of TEAM WISCONSIN.

2012 TEAM WISCONSIN / National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin 

The National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin (NKFW) served as the headquarters for and coordinated the participation of Wisconsin solid organ transplant recipients, living donors and family members of deceased donors at the 2010 NKF U.S. Transplant Games.

In 2012, you are invited to:

Put a Spotlight on Life in January! Visit www.spotlightonlife.org to learn how!

Run/Walk or volunteer to promote donation awareness & Wisconsin's Donor Registry at the Capital City 5K Run/Walk on July 28th, 2012. Visit www.capitalcity5k.org to learn more!

One way the NKF has promoted donation awareness is through the NKF U.S. Transplant Games®.  During this 4-day event, transplant recipients* of ALL ages participated in one or more of 13 sports.

Living donors and family members of deceased donors from throughout the United States had the opportunity to meet others who have shared similar experiences. During the Games, they are also honored for their ‘gifts’ at special ceremonies.
