If you are a kidney cancer patient or caregiver, consider taking 15 minutes out of your day to complete this survey.

Today on World Cancer Research Day, KidneyCAN and IKCC have launched the 2026-2027 Global Patient Survey on Kidney Cancer! All patients, carers, and survivors are invited to share their experiences and insights in the online survey.

Earlier this week, volunteers representing the Andy Derr Foundation proudly joined kidney cancer advocates from across the country for KidneyCAN's annual Advocacy Days.

We advocated for restoration of funding for the Kidney Cancer Research Program, continued funding for the National Institutes of Health, and support for telehealth through the Connect for Health Act.

Most importantly, we shared our personal stories and experiences with kidney cancer. These were emotional moments, but they were met with compassion and understanding.

We are incredibly grateful to Karen Derr, Donna and Brian Gaffney, Matt Barkanic and Joann for giving their time and voices to the kidney cancer community. Together, we will continue to raise awareness, advocate for research and work toward better outcomes for patients.

Send us a message if you're interested about learning more or participating in future advocacy efforts.

A quick update for everyone joining us for ADF Oktoberfest this Sunday, September 20th from 12-4pm!

Due to the forecast calling for rain, we’re moving Oktoberfest indoors to the Steel Club Ballroom to keep everyone comfortable and dry. The ballroom is located inside the Clubhouse on the 2nd level. There will be signage throughout the Club to help guide you to the event.

Need to be dropped off? No problem! You can drive all the way up to the ballroom entrance for easy drop-off.

And for our football fans… we’ll also be streaming the Eagles vs. Titans game!

Everything else you’re looking forward to remains the same — great food from the Steel Club, an awesome silent auction, games, and a great afternoon supporting an important cause.

We can’t wait to see you Sunday! Thank you for supporting the Andy Derr Foundation and helping us make this year’s Oktoberfest another great one.
