Nephrotic Syndrome Foundation Hosts Golf Tournament May 24

Press release from Nephrotic Syndrome Foundation:

May 21, 2021

The Nephrotic Syndrome Foundation (NSF), a non-profit organization supporting those diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome, announced today plans for Camp NSF on July 17th. NSF will offer “flexible fun” in the days leading up to the formal camp during the week of July 12.

“Camp NSF is our chance to create space for patients and their families to gather and provide an environment that provides support and an opportunity for fun and learning in a safe way,” said Andi Callaway, President and Founder of NSF. “Although we would prefer to gather in person, we are excited to welcome patients and families online from around the world.”

Throughout the COVID shutdown, NSF has continued its efforts, reaching well beyond the San Ramon Valley Area. The organization has led peer mentor team sessions, where a group of older teens and young adults support younger patients and teens with Nephrotic Syndrome. It’s Finding Health series has also been instrumental to patient families. This series is dedicated to the health and well-being of those diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome and their caregivers, providing information on how to manage school, life and tools and teachings on how to maintain good mental health. Last month they teamed up with UCSF’s Pediatric Nephrology and Infectious Disease Departments to offer their patient families a session and Q&A on the COVID-19 vaccine and kids. Most recently, Callaway launched a podcast, bringing on guests to share their inspirational stories and journeys managing Nephrotic Syndrome.

To cover the costs of Camp NSF and all of the other programs above, NSF is hosting an inaugural golf tournament, “Day on the Green”, on Monday, May 24 at Diablo Country Club. The event kicks off on Sunday, May 23 at 3pm with a family friendly event also at Diablo Country Club. Day on the Green is proudly sponsored by the Scarpelli Family Foundation, Outpatient App, Markstein Sales Co, Dialpad, Equinix, Red Stitch Wine, AT&T, The Buck Family, The Madrigal Family and the Forrest Family Charitable Giving Fund.
