ONEONTA, N.Y. -- The SUNY College of Oneonta will sponsor and host a Halloween-themed Oneonta Kidney Walk as part of the National Kidney Foundation’s Walk on Saturday, October 31. As a prelude to the event, the College will present a kick-off for the Kidney Walk on Tuesday, September 15, at 7 p.m. in the Waterfront Cafe of the Hunt College Union. Admission to the kick-off is complimentary, and members of the community are invited to participate.
At the kick-off event on September 15, participants will hear from Jamie, Dominick, and Cadence Love, an Oneonta family that has been struggling with kidney disease. Dominick’s kidney donation saved Cadence’s life.
