ONEONTA, N.Y. -- The SUNY College of Oneonta will sponsor and
host a Halloween-themed Oneonta Kidney Walk as part of the National Kidney
Foundation’s Walk on Saturday, October 31. As a prelude to the event, the
College will present a kick-off for the Kidney Walk on Tuesday, September
15, at 7 p.m. in the Waterfront Cafe of the Hunt College Union. Admission to
the kick-off is complimentary, and members of the community are invited to
participate.
At the kick-off event on September 15, participants will hear from Jamie,
Dominick, and Cadence Love, an Oneonta family that has been struggling with
kidney disease. Dominick’s kidney donation saved Cadence’s life.

include an indoor walk, activities, games, and Halloween contests.
