EMMITSBURG, Md., March 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, (NFFF) and its affiliate, the First Responder Center for Excellence (FRCE), are partnering with Kidneys for Communities to empower first responder communities across the country to help fallen firefighters' families and others in the firefighter community who are in need of a lifesaving kidney transplant.

Key Points: 
  • Expand Your Legacy —a campaign developed by NFFF/FRCE and the Knox Company to build awareness among firefighters about the life-changing impact of becoming a living kidney donor — is working with Kidneys for Communities, a national community-directed living kidney donation program, to facilitate living kidney donations that support fallen firefighters' families and members of the firefighting community who are battling end-stage kidney disease.
  • "It can be difficult to ask a stranger or even friends and family members to donate a kidney.
  • Meanwhile, the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network reports that approximately 13 people die each day waiting for a kidney transplant.
  • We hope this program helps those first responders who need kidneys to receive one and that others can become more educated about becoming a living kidney donor."
