A KIDNEY CONVO
FEATURING CT FLETCHER – JOIN THE FIGHT TO AMPLIFY VOICES IN NEED


Showtime Boxing Promotions, in partnership with Next Step Next One, is bringing A Kidney Convo to the community—a powerful 90-minute event focused on real people battling kidney disease and searching for living donors.

At this event, CT Fletcher—legendary strength athlete, heart transplant recipient, and undeniable voice for overcoming adversity—will help elevate the stories of individuals who are fighting for their lives and for more time with the people they love. CT knows firsthand what it means to rely on the strength and generosity of others, and he’ll be there to help shine a light on the voices that need to be heard.

This is not a medical lecture.
This is not a fundraiser.
This is a conversation rooted in humanity, urgency, and action.


What Happens at the Event

Attendees will gather to watch short films from the Next Step Next One storytelling project, featuring:

  • People living with kidney disease who are actively searching for a donor
  • Transplant recipients sharing their journeys and second chances
  • Living donors opening up about why they stepped forward and how their lives changed afterward

Facilitated conversations invite participants to:

  • Listen deeply
  • Ask questions
  • Reflect on how kidney disease affects our communities
  • Explore real ways to offer support, compassion, and connection

A Kidney Convo is a space to learn, feel, and walk away inspired to act—however big or small that next step may be.

Showtime Boxing Promotions and Next Step Next One are proud to stand together and bring these stories forward. Because when we amplify these voices, we bring more lives within reach of hope—and a donor.

A KIDNEY CONVO
CON CT FLETCHER – ÚNETE A LA LUCHA PARA AMPLIFICAR LAS VOCES QUE NECESITAN SER ESCUCHADAS

Showtime Boxing Promotions, en colaboración con Next Step Next One, trae A Kidney Convo a la comunidad: un evento poderoso de 90 minutos enfocado en personas reales que viven con enfermedad renal y buscan un donante vivo.

En este evento, CT Fletcher—leyenda del deporte de fuerza, receptor de trasplante de corazón y una voz indiscutible sobre cómo superar la adversidad—ayudará a elevar las historias de personas que están luchando por sus vidas y por más tiempo con quienes aman. CT sabe de primera mano lo que significa depender de la fuerza y la generosidad de los demás, y estará presente para iluminar las voces que necesitan ser escuchadas.

Esto no es una conferencia médica.
Esto no es una colecta de fondos.
Es una conversación basada en humanidad, urgencia y acción.


¿Qué Sucede en el Evento?

Los asistentes se reunirán para ver cortometrajes del proyecto de narración de Next Step Next One, que presentan:

  • Personas viviendo con enfermedad renal que están buscando activamente un donante
  • Receptores de trasplante compartiendo sus historias y segundas oportunidades
  • Donantes vivos contando por qué dieron el paso y cómo cambió sus vidas

Las conversaciones guiadas invitan a los participantes a:

  • Escuchar profundamente
  • Hacer preguntas
  • Reflexionar sobre cómo la enfermedad renal afecta a nuestras comunidades
  • Explorar formas reales de brindar apoyo, compasión y conexión

A Kidney Convo es un espacio para aprender, sentir y salir inspirado a actuar—sin importar cuán grande o pequeño sea ese siguiente paso.

Showtime Boxing Promotions y Next Step Next One están orgullosos de estar juntos para llevar estas historias al frente. Porque cuando amplificamos estas voces, acercamos a más personas a la esperanza—y a un donante.
