Kwame Appiah and Marshall Glaze

Hey there! It's Marshall and Kwame from Season 4 of Netflix’s Love Is Blind. We’re here to support the Northwest Kidney Centers! They’re on a mission to provide equitable, life-changing kidney care to anyone in need, and we're here to back them up! When you support this cause, you're not only helping provide essential care for patients, but you're also contributing to palliative care. It's all about giving these incredible folks and their families some real love and understanding—covering their physical and mental needs, so they can make the best choices for their own well-being. 

You know what's even cooler? We're making a splash in a fun competition! That's right! We'll be teaming up with a top-notch mixologist to whip up a mind-blowing cocktail and mocktail combo. But, hold up, we need your help! The more donations we get, the more freedom we have to concoct the most epic drink ever. 

So, let's do this together! Your support means the world to us, and it's going to make a huge impact on those in need. Join us in making a difference with Northwest Kidney Centers, and let's shake up this competition!

Liz McNamara

Crafting a bold, confident, and unique flavor for this year's Muddlers and Shakers competition. I am excited to be one of this year's muddlers mixing up cocktails and mocktails for a good cause. The heart of Northwest Kidney Centers is one of service, the team always puts the patients first and provides the best possible care.

This year fundraising supports their palliative care program and kidney research. Dr. Lam and the palliative care team are AMAZING and offer patients support helping the patients make the best possible decisions for their care, from pain management to depression, insomnia, mobility issues, and much more. Research offers patients hope, knowing that there are so many people looking to make people's lives easier and to find a cure for kidney disease.

Please help me put my BEST SHOE forward and get a leg up on the competition because... I AM GOING TO WIN.
