UPCOMING EVENTS
We hope you can join us at one of our upcoming events, whether virtually or in person. Please see the event schedule below for more details!
WE HOPE MEET-UP: HOLIDAY EDITION
October 28th @ 5pm PST - Virtual
As the holidays approach, we invite you to join us for a casual 'meet up' for those who have an interest in getting involved, supporting NSF and spreading awareness!
We will chat about ways to give back, particularly around our Valentine's Day 2027 Card Project for young warriors, our 2026 B. Hope Giving Drive, and other fun ideas! We invite caregivers, friends or family, or anyone inclined to learn more. It can even be something you and your child join together. We would LOVE to get to know you, share in this journey and effort, and have your support.
B.HOPE GIVING DRIVE
November - December 2026
Spread HOPE this season! Gift a Backpack of Hope to a child with Nephrotic Syndrome.
Nephrotic Syndrome is a serious and rare auto-immune disease that affects the kidneys and stops them from working. There is no known cause and no cure. Every day, we find more kids battling Nephrotic Syndrome without support—until now. NSF's Backpacks of Hope offers a child a backpack full of comfort items, medical supplies, and educational materials. Inside is a warm blanket, swell-style water bottle, medical supplies, over-ear headphones, a gift for the patient and siblings, important educational information, and much more. Each backpack is a personal connection to others on the same journey.

PARTNERS WITH PURPOSE: CA FOOTBALL PREP
5% of sales go towards the Nephrotic Syndrome Foundation!
CA Football Prep was founded by 15-year-old Ryan Hassankhani, a teen entrepreneur who has battled Minimal Change Disease since age 2 but has been in remission since 10. Sports became a key outlet during his journey, and in high school, he discovered a passion for football. Realizing the impact of well-prepped footballs, Ryan launched CA Football Prep, offering a 3-day prep process that softens leather and improves grip—used by athletes from high school to the NFL.
