Held annually on the last Tuesday of April, during National Minority Health Month, AMKD Awareness Day serves as an opportunity for communities, organizations and families to better understand APOL1-mediated kidney disease and become APOL1 aware. This year, AMKD Awareness Day will take place on April 29, 2025.

Our toolkit can be considered a starting point for your AMKD Awareness Day plans — we encourage you to personalize your social media posts and get the conversation started, which will help bring visibility to a disease that does not yet have widespread recognition.

You don’t have to be personally affected by AMKD to help bring attention to this disease. Thank you for helping to spread the word, in 2025 and beyond.
