Kidney Ball | National Kidney Foundation of Michigan

November 11, 2023

The “most fun black tie event in Metro Detroit” began 18 years ago as a one-time event to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the NKFM. Brought back by popular demand, this event hosts more than 400 movers and shakers each year to eat, drink, and be merry. This event features hundreds of unique auction items, including the popular Kids Auction Toy Room, a very animated live auction, and the chance to “buy” a piece of our kids programs. Guests also enjoy the rockin’ sounds of live music!

Check back soon for more details for our 2023 Kidney Ball!
