Kidney Ball

By Gigi Nichols

Duane McLean and John Magee co-chaired the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan’s Kidney Ball at the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center. Nearly 500 people attended the event which raised over $430,000 through a silent auction, donations, and a live auction. The evening included dinner, dancing and heartfelt stories of courage from kidney patients. The mission of the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan is to prevent kidney disease and improve the quality of life for those living with it.
