Benefits to your Business and its Employees
We invite not only individuals family but local businesses and corporations as well. It's fun for companies to create teams to walk in support of the Peer Mentor Program. Walking in teams provides friendly competition, as well as an opportunity for information and education about kidney disease and ways to prevent it. Walking creates opportunities for employees to get together in support of a common cause.

In addition to raising money to support the NKFM's Peer Mentor program, you'll also help your community and co-workers live happier, healthier, longer lives. Take a look at some of the benefits you and your business can achieve:

• Increase company pride. Surveys show that over 90 percent of employees feel proud if their company supports an important outside cause like the Brighton Kidney Walk.
• Build skills. Volunteer work can help your employees hone skills they can use at home and on the job. These include leadership, decision-making, problem-solving, time management, negotiating, networking and goal-setting.
• Shine in the community. Supporting the Brihgton Kidney Walk can help enhance community relations. Many companies print T-shirts for their walkers to display their spirit and raise their company profile.
• Give a boost. Giving back to the community can also boost productivity, employee morale, job satisfaction and loyalty.
• Promote health education. It's a great way to promote health and wellness to your employees and educate them on how to prevent kidney disease.
