Fund Raising Event

The National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin is hosting its annual Spotlight on Life Gala to shine a light on those who are waiting for a life-saving transplant and bring awareness to the need for organ, tissue and eye donation.

A Special Anniversary
2020 celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Wisconsin Online Donor Registry. The National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin is a partner organization of Donate Life Wisconsin, which helped make the registry available to residents state-wide. By registering, you authorize the gift of your organs, tissue and eyes upon your death for donation. We pay tribute to the almost 60% of Wisconsin driver’s license and ID holders who have said YES to donation!

SPOTLIGHT ON LIFE is a unique event that combines dancing, rivalry and fun to make it an evening to remember. Guests will enjoy an elegant reception, buffet dinner, reserved seating for the dance competition and after-party dancing with a DJ. The main event is a dancing with the stars-style competition where local community and healthcare superstars, paired with Fred Astaire Dance Professionals, to perform in a dance competition while raising funds to support the activities and programs of the National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin.

One of the awards the dancers are vying for is the People’s Choice Award, which goes to the dancer that receives the most votes ($1 donations). Read this year’s dancers’ stories about their connection to organ, tissue and eye donation and why they are dancing on the National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin’s website and consider voting – making a donation.
