In a season of extreme economic travail, we are particularly gratified by the growing Hearts of Palm, Marinated Artichoke Hearts, Enoki Mushrooms, recognition here and throughout our country of the imperative to support medical research Red and Yellow Peppers, and Teardrop Tomatoes concerning kidney disease. Served with Lemon Herb Vinaigrette To live without dialysis every one of us needs at least one functioning kidney to remove toxins, regulate the flow of blood throughout the body, and to properly balance our blood chemistries. While the kidneys are critical and incredibly complex organs, the diseases that affect them have never risen to become top priorities of research GRILLED FILET OF ATLANTIC SALMON funding despite the huge number of people who are suffering. In the western United States we do not have a comprehensive center that specializes in research to understand why kidneys fail and to design prevention and Niçoise Vegetable Ragout and White Wine Tomato Caper Herb Sauce treatment strategies. Our goal is to create a first class renal research center where the top researchers will gather With and apply the latest technologies to unlock the causes of, create new treatments for, and hopefully find a way Asparagus, Grilled Tomato, Baby Carrots and Potatoes Dauphinoise to eradicate the scourge of kidney disease. By achieving that goal we can obviate the extraordinary resources now required to support the hundreds of thousands of people in the United States who require dialysis and kidney transplants. VEGETARIAN OPTION My family and I can tell you personally how much a kidney transplant has meant to us, and every day I treasure Penne Pasta Primavera the gift bestowed upon me by a courageous donor family who consented to have the organs of their beloved donated so that others might benefit despite their family’s tragic loss. I’ve had a new kidney for twenty months. Like yours, it works silently every day to keep my body healthy. Medical research has made that possible. I follow a strict regime of medicine and blood tests, but otherwise my life, after ten years of illness, is normal. But the TRIPLE CHOCOLATE BAVARIAN TOWER doctors still don’t understand the disease processes that caused my kidneys to fail, whether it will happen again, & or how to prevent others from experiencing the same medical difficulties. TRIO OF SORBETS with Raspberry Sauce But, we have great hope for the future. Tonight we honor three people, Shaul Massry, Tom Mone and Kent Thiry, who are responsible for spectacular advances in this field. In this room and around the world, there are brilliant doctors and people committed to research who are anxious to solve these medical mysteries, and your contributions will help advance their efforts. A big thank you to all of you and to our dinner chairs, co-chairs, and members of our Boards for your generosity and in many cases, tireless efforts in creating tonight’s event. We wish you a great evening.
