The Cash for Clunkers Program
may be over, but the Mississippi Kidney Foundation is still
accepting vehicles as charitable donations. If your repair bills
are too high or your trade-in value is too low, please
consider donating your unwanted vehicle, running or not,
to the Mississippi Kidney Foundation. We even provide
FREE TOWING and you may receive an opportunity for a
tax deduction.
Look at some of the Mississippians who have donated a
vehicle...you won't believe your eyes! Paul Newman, James
Taylor, Michael Douglas, Roy Rogers, Tom Jones and Daniel
Boone!The Kidney Kars Program, now
in its 17th year, is fast approaching the $2,000,000 mark in
funds raised, as well as the 4,000 mark of donated vehicles.
Remember, 100% of funds
raised STAY in Mississippi! Learn More...

Successful Forward Bound
45 patients just
returned from the annual Forward Bound retreat at Jacobs Camp in
Utica, MS. One patient commented...
"Being here at
Forward Bound has been a wonderful experience, much more than I
expected. The stories I've heard help me to realize how lucky
and blessed I am. It makes me feel not so alone in my fight for
my life as long as I keep sharing and talking with the people I
have met."
