At the PKD Foundation, we’re fortunate to have a diverse group of ambassadors who are passionate about our mission to find treatments and a cure for polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Each ambassador brings unique strengths, perspectives, and personal experiences to our cause, helping us raise awareness, advocate for research, and support those affected by PKD. Whether they’re patients, caregivers, medical professionals, or community leaders, our ambassadors play a vital role in spreading hope and driving change. Let’s meet the different types of PKD Foundation ambassadors and learn how each contributes to our shared vision.
Fundraising Ambassadors
Fundraising Ambassadors play an important role in PKD communities by identifying local fundraising opportunities and organizing events. With help from PKD Foundation staff, your contribution drives critical fundraising to support our mission.
Outreach Ambassadors
Outreach Ambassadors are meant to build new bridges between the PKD Foundation and previously underserved communities. These ambassadors will also guide communities of color through the Foundation’s resources on disease management, treatment options, and navigating health care systems.
PKD Connect Ambassadors
PKD Connect Ambassadors serve as the frontline for individuals new to the PKD Foundation, providing local support to PKD communities nationwide. Within their local communities, these volunteers share educational opportunities, connect families to PKD Foundation programs and services, and create a space for understanding and support.
Walk for PKD Ambassadors
Our Walk for PKD Ambassadors serve an important role in their community. They’re responsible for planning and executing their local Walk for PKD event with support from PKD Foundation staff. This volunteer role raises important donations and plans an event that brings the local PKD community together. Your contribution will help fulfill our vision to end PKD.
