Description:
The KAT Walk is a family-oriented, fun-filled 5K Walk being held in neighborhoods across the country. This year, from June – December, the DaVita KAT Walks Across America will tour throughout the United States to build kidney disease awareness and raise funds to help reduce the advancement of Chronic Kidney Disease, a condition that affects over 26 million people nationwide.
The KAT Walks are produced by DaVita, Inc., the largest independent provider of dialysis services in the United States, and benefit The Kidney
TRUST, a 501(c)3 public charity that seeks to reduce the advancement of
Chronic Kidney Disease by providing cost-effective rapid-screening for everyone as well as financial assistance to people affected by CKD.
Mission Statement:
The event will be filled with entertainment for all ages. Bring your friends, your family, and your colleagues from work – the more, the merrier.
There will be an appearance by the one and only KAT mascot, and the
DaVita KAT Bounce House for kids.
The KAT Walks began in 2006. Over 5,500 walkers and volunteers have participated to date. In 2008, our goal is to register nearly 15,000 participants nationwide to walk and raise funds to help fight kidney disease.
