KNOW BEFORE YOU GO…
Your safety and well-being continue to be at the forefront of our planning efforts. We have implemented a number of precautions based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), individual states, and venue policies.
There are a few key things to know before arriving at an NKF event and they include:
- We are following the CDC guidelines
- We remain committed to protecting our patients. Kidney disease patients and transplant recipients who are required to take immunosuppressive medication may not receive the same level of antibody protection from the COVID-19 vaccine as others. We recommend that these individuals, and those around them, continue to be vigilant, mask-up, and social distance where possible.
- We hope you’ll consider joining us in taking extra precautions when indoors or when social distancing is not possible for the protection of patients, fellow volunteers, staff and the general public who still remain at an increased risk.
COVID-19 WARNING
An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people with underlying medical conditions and older adults are especially vulnerable.
By attending, I expressly warrant that:
- I will indemnify and hold the NKF harmless from any and all claims of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of, or in any way related to, this fundraising initiative.

- I will indemnify and hold the NKF harmless from any and all claims of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of, or in any way related to an alleged exposure to, or contracting of, COVID-19 by any attendee who alleges such exposure or illness during or after the Event.
