Like Phobia and Bwana I don't donate to national orgs, especially the Red Cross. The NKF fundraiser is a local KC event where all proceeds go to Camp Chimer a camp for dialysis patients in Lawrence. This was fundraiser came about when my great niece Maya was found to have no functioning kidneys at 9 months of age and after all the help the family received they felt a need to give back and started Maya's Miracles. They try to do a couple of fundraisers a year but the big one has been Martini Madness. Maya attended Camp Chimer for the first time last year at age 9. She has been on dialysis for almost 10 years. So this is a personal charity for me.
