The Rocena Kidney Foundation (RKF) is excited to invite you to our 2 nd Annual Gala on
Saturday, October 5th, 2024, at 6:00 PM at the Ottawa Convention Centre located at 200
Coventry Road. This gala is our signature fundraising event, raising funds for scholarly research,
outreach, and educational programs to address the growing pandemic of kidney health issues in
marginalized communities, especially within African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB)
communities.

The Foundation recognizes that there are multiple barriers to accessing accessible and inclusive
health services. Our mandate is to create culturally competent spaces, and we are dedicated to
supporting kidney health in an inclusive and equitable manner.

This year’s gala promises an unforgettable evening filled with musical entertainment, scholarly
presentations, a gourmet buffet offering an elevated dining experience, raffles, auctions, and
awards.
