LOPEZ AND JACKSON FOR KIDNEYS

"We believe in the Kidney Foundation," noted Samuel L. Jackson. "We have member sour our family who need kidneys.

We get screened, we have members of our family screened. We are trying to do humanitarian things, not just for this organisation but for other things."
In 2005, George Lopez received a kidney transplant from his wife Ann. Since then, the Lopez family has served as spokesperson for the National Kidney Foundation.
"We have the opportunity in our bodies because we have two kidneys that you can donate one, like my wife did with me and she has a normal life and I am healthy for the first time in my life," noted Lopez. "It's a fantastic organisation and we are proud to help."
The gala supported programs such as the Children and Teen Camping Program, Kidney Early Evaluation Program (KEEP), and the Paediatric Education Conference.
