The National Kidney Foundation of Indiana’s Golf Classic is hosted in partnership with Steel Dynamics, Inc. and is in its 22nd year. The Golf Classic is a two-day event with a Sponsors Reception being held the evening of the first day at the Keith Busse Corvette Museum. The Sponsors Reception is attended by approximately 350 local business and community leaders and includes food, drink, music and live and silent auctions. The auction portion of the event typically raises $40,000 for the foundation. All funds raised support programs in Indiana such as Kidney Camp for children with kidney disease or an organ transplant, free kidney health screenings across the state, and emergency financial assistance for those on life-sustaining kidney dialysis.

The National Kidney Foundation of Indiana (NKFI), Inc. is a major voluntary health organization founded in 1970. Our mission is to prevent kidney and urinary tract diseases, improve the health and well-being of individuals and families affected by these diseases, and increase the availability of all organs for transplantation. It is the only non-profit organization in the state of Indiana specifically dedicated to kidney and urinary tract disease prevention, education, service, and advocacy. NKFI serves all residents of Indiana, however many of its programs target high-risk, under-served or uninsured populations including low income, minorities, and elderly.
