Championing Kidney Health

IMG_8863-preview.HEIC

Donating to kidney research is a powerful way to make a lasting impact on millions of lives. Kidney disease affects 1 in 7 adults worldwide, often progressing silently until it's too late—leading to dialysis, transplants, or even death. Despite its prevalence, kidney research remains significantly underfunded compared to other major diseases. Your support can help unlock breakthroughs in early detection, prevention, and innovative treatments that can halt or even reverse kidney damage. Every dollar brings us closer to a future where no one has to suffer from this debilitating condition. By donating, you're not just giving money—you're giving hope, time, and life.

Support Kidney Research

We are a team of high school students from Palos Verdes High School striving to fund research for kidney disease. Having learned about the prevalence of kidney disease and the desperate need for research funding, we decided to take action by creating a fund raising campaign. The 1-in-7 Campaign aims to raise awareness and funds for kidney disease research. Our goal is to support scientists working toward better treatments while educating our community about the impact of this widespread condition.

Meet the One-in-Seven Teams

This year, seven student teams have come together with a shared mission: to raise awareness and critical funds for kidney disease research at the USC Kidney Research Center (KRC). Through student-led outreach, community engagement, and creative fundraising initiatives, these teams are learning to translate science into impact—educating their peers and local community while directly supporting innovative research aimed at improving the lives of the 1 in 7 Americans affected by kidney disease. Together, their efforts demonstrate the power of youth leadership in advancing health, advocacy, and discovery.
