3. Chairman and President’s Message
The 2007-2008 fiscal year was a good one for the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan
(NKFM). We’re extremely proud of all we’ve accomplished in what most might say was a tough
year in Michigan. The NKFM is still on the front line of Michigan’s fight against chronic kidney
disease and we have our eyes firmly fixed on the future.
The most startling statistic of one in nine Michigan adults has chronic kidney disease changed
this year. One in eight Michigan adults now has chronic kidney disease and most don’t know it.
One in three children born in the United States in 2000 will develop diabetes. The number of
people with kidney disease and associated healthcare costs continue to rise but the NKFM is out
front with grass roots, innovative prevention programs that are making a true difference.
Taking a page from the NKFM’s first and very successful prevention programs, Healthy Hair
Starts with a Healthy Body™ and Dodge the Punch: Live Right™, we’ve developed a number of
other programs which have proven successful. This was the second year of our Regie’s Rainbow
Adventure program which educates kids on the importance of eating fruits and vegetables using
the colors of the rainbow. We’re excited to report we’ve seen the same positive behavior change
outcomes we’ve experienced with other prevention programs.
Daniel M. Carney
President and CEO
The NKFM will continue to be the leading non-profit resource for those at risk of developing kidney
disease, those who have CKD, the family members it affects, and kidney disease professionals. We’ll
continue to advocate for, listen to and empower people across the state whose lives have somehow
been touched by kidney disease.
M. David Campbell
Chairman, Board of Directors
The NKFM constantly relies on the guiding principles of the organization which include . . .
• Striving to prevent chronic kidney disease CKD and its leading causes; diabetes and hypertension.
• Advocating for people living with and at risk of CKD
• Promoting quality of care for people with CKD, diabetes and hypertension
• Educating the public about CKD, diabetes, hypertension and obesity
• Promoting organ and tissue donation
• Supporting research of CKD
The NKFM was honored to receive a 4 star rating from Charity Navigator, the nation’s premier charity evaluator. The coveted
ranking shows that NKFM outperforms the majority of other nonprofit agencies in America in fiscal responsibility. This
exceptional designation differentiates us from our peers and demonstrates the reliability and efficiency of the our services.
Everyday we’re reminded of the time, talent, and commitment of our wonderful volunteers and friends without whom we would
be unable to do what we do. Thank you for helping us to be the most effective affiliate of the National Kidney Foundation and
for your continued support this past year. Your efforts are making lives better for others!

4. Touching a Child’s Life
NKFM Kids Programs
NKFM has developed and provided three school programs to teachers and their students for the past several
years.
Over the last twelve years KICK: Kids Interested in the Care of Their Kidneys has provided teachers with
materials and a lesson plan to teach over 834,000 middle and high school students the importance of
diagnosing and treating diabetes and hypertension. KICK also makes the case for students to sign the organ
donor registry.
Kids and Kidneys, aimed at fourth through sixth
graders has been used by teachers with 161,000 kids
in eight years. This program, recently approved as a
supplementary lesson by the Michigan Model for
Health education, emphasizes the importance of
good nutrition and physical activity as a means to
avoid diabetes and hypertension and therefore to
avoid or delay kidney disease.
Our third school education program, Healthy Kids
and Kidneys, utilizes health professionals to teach
sixth grade students the importance of developing
healthy lifestyles in order to maintain good “kidney
health.” The Healthy Kids and Kidneys curriculum,
an eight week, one hour per week course, has been honed for five years at Hutchins Middle School in Detroit
and in middle schools in Pontiac for three years. In 2007, funding was secured to expand the program from an
average of 80 students per year to 450 students per year.

5. Preventing Disease in the African American Community
Healthy Hair Starts with a Healthy Body
tarts Body™
The National Kidney Foundation of Michigan’s Healthy Hair Starts
with a Healthy Body™ program continued its success this year by
training more than 270 hair stylists to speak with their clients about
living healthier lifestyles. With the help of these dedicated stylists,
the program educated 3,956 African American women about the
treatment and prevention of chronic kidney disease and its two leading
causes; diabetes and high blood pressure. Stylists provided clients in
Detroit, Grand Rapids, Flint, Inkster, Muskegon, Pontiac, Southfield
and Ypsilanti with important health messages and informational
materials encouraging them to make healthy lifestyle choices.
The foundation of the Healthy Hair program is based on the strong,
trusting relationship African American women typically have with
their hair stylists. In the program, stylists serve as lay health advisors
with their clients, offering a “health chat,” brochures, and incentives
to compel clients to improve their overall health behavior. Referral
resources to meet the needs of low-income and/or uninsured clients
are also included. Through the program, clients are urged to make
healthier food choices, get thirty minutes of exercise on most days, stop smoking, and take medication if already
diagnosed. They are also encouraged to visit their doctor to get tested and discuss their risk for disease. Each
client receives a “Wellness Score Card” to track the results of their diagnostic tests. The Score Card includes
several health indicators such as blood pressure,
cholesterol, fasting blood sugar, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and body mass index.

6. Connecting to People with Chronic Kidney Disease
Public Policy Advocacy
During 2008, NKFM advocacy focused on continued state funding for the Michigan Strategic Plan for the
Prevention, Early Detection and Control of Chronic Kidney Disease. As Michigan struggled with difficult
economic times, the legislature voted to appropriate $3,999,000 in fiscal year 2007-2008 to the Diabetes and
Kidney Programs line in the Michigan Department of Community Health budget. At the federal level, NKFM
advocacy also helped provide a new Medicare benefit that will educate people nearing kidney failure about their
treatment options of dialysis or kidney transplant.
NKFM gained the support of state legislators by educating them about the benefits of disease prevention.
NKFM prevention programs target:
1.) primary prevention
2.) secondary prevention focused on early detection and treatment of diabetes and high blood pressure to
prevent chronic kidney disease (diabetes and high blood pressure are the two leading causes of kidney
failure)
3.) early detection and treatment of chronic kidney disease to delay kidney failure. Programs place an emphasis
on high risk minority populations, especially people of African American heritage.
The NKFM “People Like Us Take Action” volunteers are our best advocates and the strength behind our public
policy success stories.
Senator Roger Kahn MD and Representative Gary McDowell were recognized at the NKFM 2008 Champion of Hope Tribute Dinner.
Both played a significant role in maintaining the Diabetes and Kidney Programs line in the state budget.

7. Investing in the Future
Healthy Families Start with You
The Healthy Families Start with You program is stronger than ever. Twenty-five new Head Start staff
members in Head Start agencies in Detroit, Pontiac, and Traverse City have been trained to have ‘health chats’
with Head Start parents. These lay health educators have explained the association between lifestyle choices like
nutrition and physical activity and risk for chronic disease development to Head Start parents. The cookbook,
resource guide, measuring cups, pedometers, and health brochures they distributed helped parents to put healthy
lifestyle behaviors into practice.
The Regie’s Rainbow Adventure program was introduced into curriculum at Head Start agencies in Detroit
and Pontiac. The Regie’s Rainbow Adventure program is a curriculum that emphasizes eating fruits and
vegetables that are the colors of the rainbow. Teachers are given 6 stories to read, each focusing on a different
color. The plot for each story centers on Regie Rainbow Man, a superhero who must travel to various food
islands and eat healthy foods of a particular color to earn his power stripe.
Of the 359 parents through Healthy Families Start with You program and 242 children through the Regie
Rainbow Adventure program has reached, 60% of adults and their children made at least one healthy lifestyle
change, including increasing exercise (41%), increasing consumption of fruits (34%) and vegetables (34%) and
reducing consumption of fast food (26%) and pop (22%) among other changes.

8. Development
Kidney Ball: Motown Magic
The NKFM gathered its friends and supporters for the
3rd Annual Kidney Ball on December 8, 2007 at the
Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center. The
black-tie event, themed “Motown Magic,” attracted
700 attendees and raised $600,000 for the numerous
programs and services the NKFM offers to the many
residents currently living with chronic kidney disease and
those at risk.
The Motown inspired evening included a cocktail hour,
dinner, live and silent auctions, and live entertainment
by Rumplestiltskin. The soulful sounds of Motown
being played throughout the night helped to create an (l to r) Troy and Jean Clarke, Cindy and Steve Shannon
atmosphere unlike any other black-tie event in metro
Detroit.
The Honorary Chairs for the evening were Troy and Jean Clarke. Troy is President of General Motors North
America. Steve and Cindy Shannon, serving as Chairs
of the event, along with a number of committed
Executive and Host Committee members, really helped
to make the night a huge success.
From the dedication of our outstanding committee to
the efforts of our wonderful volunteers, the NKFM is
lucky to have so many friends and supporters.
