Black Tie Affair

The Zumwalt Family Would Be Honored by Your Presence

Come enjoy great food & drinks while

potentially saving a life.

On October 22, 2022, UCLA Health CORE Kidney Foundation will hold its inaugural Gala at the impressive Wasserman Football Facility at 6 PM.

The Gala will honor the journey of patient Nanette Zumwalt, who urgently needs a kidney donation!

This elegant event will feature prominent health professionals from UCLA presenting the purpose of their program, CORE, with a specialized focus on organ donation and transplants.

CORE was inspired by Dr. Anjay Rastogi's vision to create patient-centered kidney care at UCLA. The money raised at the gala will improve patient care, outreach, education, and research on kidney disease.

The night includes VIP Master of Ceremonies, Philip Palmer from ABC7 Los Angeles News.

We look forward to seeing you there.

The Power of Hope! How You Can Help

Be a living kidney donor

If you have two healthy kidneys, you may be able to donate one of your kidneys to enhance or save someone else's life. Both you and the recipient of your kidney (the person who got your kidney) can live with just one healthy kidney.

If you are interested in living kidney donation, contact us!
