Move It With Purpose: Donate to Activate your Dollar-for-Dollar Match!

About this Giving Opportunity

Double your impact for Bridge of Life (BOL) through Move It With Purpose (MIWP) during the month of September! Let’s come together as a Village to support BOL in their efforts to help prevent, control, and treat kidney disease and its root causes around the globe.  Here’s one of the ways we’ll get to our $750,000 goal:

• For every dollar you donate to Bridge of Life here on the Ripples platform in the month of September, DaVita Giving Foundation will match your donation and DOUBLE your impact! Give $5, and BOL gets $10. Give $10 and BOL gets $20. Give $5,000 and BOL gets $10,000…you get the idea!

If you are hosting a fundraiser to raise money for Bridge of Life, please collect all donations via this Giving Opportunity to ensure it's eligible for the DaVita match. (Use this link for non-teammate donations.)  Funds collected outside of this Giving Opportunity are not eligible for the 1:1 match.

We Move It Forward for Guadalupe

We move it for kids like Guadalupe, who lives in the mountains of Chimaltenango, Guatemala, surrounded by her parents and five sisters. When her kidneys failed, her childhood was replaced by exhausting travel. Three times a week, Guadalupe and one of her parents made a six-hour round trip to Guatemala City for dialysis. She missed school, her friends and her family. Through the generosity of people like you, a team of DaVita volunteers built a peritoneal dialysis room right in Guadalupe’s home. They painted it her favorite shade of pink and filled it with flowers, butterflies and sunshine. It’s not just a treatment room; it's a place that allows Guadalupe to feel at peace. Today, Guadalupe dreams of becoming a nurse to help others like her.  

We move it with purpose because every mile helps dialysis patients, like Guadalupe around the world. So let’s run, walk, bike or dance - because when we move, we move together for better kidney health for people across the globe.
