Kidney Cancer Association Announces Grant

By Anonymous

Evanston, IL February 1 2004--The Kidney Cancer Association (KCA) has made a $10-thousand contribution to fund research sponsored by the American Foundation for Urologic Disease (AFUD). AFUD Manager of Corporate Development Jodi Miller welcomed the gift as, “Wonderful news!” AFUD’s goal is the prevention and cure of urologic disease through the expansion of research, education and patient advocacy.

“We are pleased to make the first of what we hope will be a series of contributions to AFUD directed at encouraging interest in kidney cancer research,” said Bill Bro, KCA Chief Executive Officer. “Our medical board has endorsed the direction of research funds to AFUD; because they’ve been at the forefront of urologic disease research for more than a quarter century,” he added.

In 2003, Bro was appointed a voting member of AFUD’s Kidney Health Council, and the KCA and the Kidney Health Council are planning to collaborate on the publication of a new booklet about renal cancer. More information about AFUD’s current research projects is available on the organization’s website: http://afud.org/research/scholars/current.asp.

By Anonymous

April 23, 2004 -- The Penn State Football team's first annual Penn State "Lift For Life" was a huge success, raising more than $13,000 for the Kidney Cancer Association in 2003. KCA board chair Paula Bowen accepted a check before more than 100-thousand enthusiastic fans.

The squad would like help in staffing drop points for contributions around the time of the annual Blue/White game on April 24, 2004. Kidney cancer survivors or their families who are interested in serving as volunteers may contact the Kidney Cancer Association at (847) 332-1051 for more information. If you reside in Pennsylvania, this is an excellent opportunity to show support for both the KCA and Nittany Lions.

The team's goal for the event is to help raise money and awareness for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of kidney cancer.
