Dear Community Supporter:

I am writing on behalf of the Alando Bray Kidney Foundation. We are working to raise funds to help Alando Bray, only 37 years old, to obtain a kidney transplant and ongoing required medication. Alando was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease, membrane glomerulonephritis. His physician recommended that he leave his career behind as the stress would be too detrimental to his health and well being due to the need for dialysis treatment three times a week. Currently, Alando is on the transplant waiting list. So often we see what a bit of life altering news can do to the recipient and we forget how much that one moment of sobering news can vastly affect many others. Alando is a loving husband to Kesha and caring father to his children. Through it all Alando continues to keep a loving smile on his face and waits patiently on a life changing kidney transplant.

Your support will not only give Alando a chance for a long life, but also a chance for his children to have their father present as they grow up. On Saturday, July 10, 2010 we are hosting a "Night of Hope" Ball at the Galleria Banquet Hall and Conference Center, Centerville Georgia to generate funds for this worthy cause. We would be most appreciative if you would be a sponsor or make a tax deductible contribution of your choice. Sponsor categories are: Platinum $2500, Gold $1000, Silver $500 and Bronze $250, Patrons $100. Tables that seat 8 are available for $350 or individual tickets for $50/each. Sponsor names will be listed on the ball's program. Please mail donations to:
