t's never too early to start planning for National
PKD Awareness Day! Recognized across the US
and Canada on September 4, this day provides an
opportunity for us to raise awareness in our local
communities and government. One way to participate is to submit a request to turn a landmark
in your city teal. Fountains, buildings, and monuments are often illuminated in colors for various
causes. We will be providing other awareness
resources on our website and social media channels as the day gets closer.
