Advocacy Champions

The Advocacy Champion Network (ACN) is vital to raising awareness of PKD and increasing research dollars to bring treatments and therapies to patients and to provide the best care for those who are reliant on dialysis or a kidney transplant to survive.

By joining others and sharing their experience, the ACN will help to further legislation, regulation, and federal funding opportunities to improve the lives of everyone in the PKD community.

Volunteer Hours

PKDF volunteers are making a difference in the lives of everyone impacted by PKD. One way we show volunteer impact is by capturing volunteer hours. Volunteer hours = revenue!

A unique link will be sent to you after each ACN training call you attend. Once you submit your hours, you can delete the submission link.

Please click to submit volunteer hours associated with media connections, such as OpEds or Letters to the Editor.

Please click to submit volunteer hours associated with Recess Visits or communications with your members not associated with Virtual Advocacy Day.

If you have questions about this process, please contact your PKDF staff lead or email Nicole at nicoleh@pkdcure.org.
