2009 Beneficiaries: Children’s Medical Center of Dallas, Child Life Specialist, Clown Therapy. From the website: The fact that clowns are wandering down the halls of Children's and gaining acceptance, and laughs, means success for Funnyatrics, a group of trained clowns who come to Children's twice a week to entertain patients. The program began at Children's in October and is modeled after successful programs throughout the northeast. Tifanny Riley and Dick Monday, two of the clowns at Children's, are veterans of the Big Apple Circus Clown Care Unit in New York City and are mentored by Michael Christenson, who created the program and has been a mentor of the program at Children's.

Camp Reynal: One of the few camps in the United States that provides on-site dialysis, Camp Reynal was founded in 1992 by dedicated volunteers, parents and healthcare professionals, all of whom shared the common goal to create an exciting, challenging, encouraging, supportive, safe and healthy environment for children with renal and urology disease and to foster fun, growth, exploration, discovery, friendship, self-esteem and independence. Camp Reynal has provided an important and successful camping experience to over 1,200 children since 1992. Web site: www.campreynal.org.

MISSION STATEMENT: The purpose of KidneyTexas, Inc. is to provide funding to improve the methods of treatment, the search for a cure and prevention of kidney disease and other kindred or contributory diseases; and to develop more adequate provision for the care of persons suffering from such diseases.

STATISTICS: Debilitating kidney diseases impact approximately 20 million people in the United States today. Groups at high risk include African Americans, Hispanics, senior citizens and people with diabetes. In Texas, there are over 30,000 people on dialysis and 4,000 on a transplant list. The number of patients on dialysis is anticipated to double this decade.

HISTORY: Since 1999, the dedicated volunteers of KidneyTexas, Inc. have worked in tandem with our generous underwriters to raise over $2.1 million for local efforts to improve the ability to diagnose and manage kidney disease.
