The Christmas Chain – A Red Carpet Film Premiere

The Texas Kidney Foundation presents an exclusive red carpet event celebrating the premiere of the heartwarming holiday movie, The Christmas Chain. This exclusive event is part of the Texas Kidney Foundation’s HOPE edutainment series, a groundbreaking initiative blending entertainment and advocacy to raise awareness about kidney health and the life-saving power of living kidney transplantation.

The premiere of The Christmas Chain, a heartwarming and impactful film that debunks myths about organ donation, is just the beginning. With a Black transplant recipient, a Hispanic donor, and powerful interracial exchanges, this film highlights the truth: “All kidneys are pink.” This is not just about a movie; it’s about how we as a community can take control of our health and demand transparency in the healthcare system.

Join us for an engaging cast discussion and meet & greet, featuring producer Nicole Mendez and cast members, many of whom have personal connections to kidney disease. Together with experts, community and the cast, we’ll tackle the disparities in organ transplantation and show how we hold the power to change the narrative—no benevolent outsiders needed!

✨ Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from the people closest to the problem and closest to the solution. We’re coming together to dismantle the barriers that have held us back, and through the HOPE program and this collaboration with the National Conversation On Race, we are paving the way for health justice in Black and Latino communities.
