National Association Of Professional Women To Sponsor The Flood Sisters Kidney Foundation Of America?s Love. Give. Life. Benefit

New York, New York (Vocus) July 9, 2010

The National Association of Professional Women (NAPW) is sponsoring The Flood Sisters Kidney Foundation of America?s Love. Give. Life. Benefit. This fundraising event is organized to increase awareness of Living Donations ? an innovative and alternative way of connecting patients in need of organs with suitable donors. The benefit will be held at the Broad Street Ballroom in New York City on July 9, 2010, 7:30pm featuring musical guest Rusted Root.

Founded in 2008, the mission of The Flood Sisters Kidney Foundation is to inspire people to become living donors and to encourage kidney patients to use non-traditional means of reaching suitable living donors.

The Flood Sisters Foundation grew out of the sisters? efforts to save their father?s life by locating a living, unrelated kidney donor on Craigslist. This first-ever social media-based approach to locate a living donor resulted in their father avoiding the delays often experienced by patients who rely on a national registry -- waiting for kidneys from cadavers while undergoing years of dialysis. It also sparked a whirlwind of media attention and has lead to three successful organ transplants.

NAPW is honored to sponsor The Flood Sisters Kidney Foundation?s Love. Give. Life. Benefit!
