The Hope Affair
Join the American Kidney Fund on Tuesday, October 7, 2025 at The Hope Affair to celebrate the people who inspire us in the fight against kidney disease.
Taking place at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., this national event brings together the kidney community, policymakers, patients and advocates for an inspirational evening that raises funds for our lifesaving programs and services. Gala guests enjoy a cocktail reception, elegant dinner and a moving program honoring those who have done extraordinary work to benefit people living with kidney disease.
The Hope Affair offers AKF supporters a variety of ways to contribute - through sponsorships beginning at $3,000, VIP and individual tickets, and our new Star Supporters. Becoming a Star Supporter is ideal for those who may not be able to attend the event but want to show their support. Any Star Supporter level can also be added to any existing sponsorship for those wishing to increase their giving.
