The Kidney Trust was formed to increase awareness of kidney disease through public education and testing programs so that the progression of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) to kidney failure can be delayed or prevented.

Description:
This year, from June – December, the DaVita KAT Walks Across America will tour throughout the United States to build kidney disease awareness and raise funds to help reduce the advancement of Chronic Kidney Disease, a condition that affects over 26 million people nationwide.

20 Walks in 20 Weeks!
The KAT Walk is a family-oriented, fun-filled 5K Walk being held in neighborhoods across the country. The event will be filled with entertainment for all ages. Bring your friends, your family, and your colleagues from work – the more, the merrier. There will be live music, an appearance by the one and only KAT mascot, and the DaVita KAT Bounce House for kids. Registration is only $15 (free to children 12 and under and those individuals living with Chronic Kidney Disease). You’ll receive your very own KAT Walk T-shirt at the event. Raise as much as $100 and get incentive prizes. It’s easy to raise funds online.

History:
The Kidney Trust was founded in 2006 by DaVita Inc., one of the largest providers of dialysis services in the United States. The Kidney Trust is an independent public charity that grew out of the vision of DaVita's leadership. The Kidney Trust was founded in the same spirit of patient service, teamwork and compassion that are the hallmarks of DaVita.
