Event summary
Get ready for the 2023 NKFW Cool Beans Adventure, taking place from July 12 to July 23 in Monona, Dane! This exciting hybrid event invites participants to embark on a unique journey to raise awareness and funds for those affected by kidney disease and organ transplants across Wisconsin. With a registration fee of just $35 (only $10 for kids 12 and under), adventurers will receive a swag pack and access to the in-person closing celebration on July 22.
From July 12, participants can start logging their "miles," whether through walking, running, biking, dancing, or engaging in impactful conversations about kidney health and organ donation. The goal is to collectively log a total of 19 miles to highlight the importance of awareness, as only 1 in 9 people with kidney disease know their status. The grand closing celebration on July 22 at Monona Fireman's Park Shelter promises a day filled with family-friendly activities, a tribute ceremony, and awards for categories such as Biggest Party and Kidney Trekker. Join us for this uplifting adventure and help make a difference in the lives of those affected by kidney disease!
