More about the event
For over 35 years, PSKC has served our community by providing a comfortable, high-quality care environment where dialysis patients are welcomed with compassion and given the support they need to lead healthier and fulfilling lives. Your generosity at the Gift of Life dinner and auction enables us to enhance programs that benefit patients directly and significantly.

2. Beautiful facilities designed and equipped for patient comfort.
3. Assistance with life’s basic needs, such as heat, dental care and transportation.
