SUNY ONEONTA TO HOLD KICK-OFF FOR KIDNEY WALK

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.

The Kidney Walk on October 31 is sponsored by the SUNY Oneonta Center for Social Responsibility and Community and the SUNY Oneonta chapter of the Phi Sigma Sigma sorority. Held at the Alumni Field House, the walk will include an indoor walk, activities, games, and Halloween contests. Individuals and teams are now being recruited to participate.
