Heuser & Heuser backs 2026 Southern Colorado Kidney Walk

Heuser & Heuser is sponsoring the 2026 Southern Colorado Kidney Walk on Sept. 27 at Memorial Park in Colorado Springs to support kidney disease awareness, research, education and local patient resources. The firm says the event is especially personal for founding partner Gordon Heuser, a kidney transplant recipient whose brother donated the kidney that saved his life.

Why it matters: - The Southern Colorado Kidney Walk raises money that stays in the region for kidney disease research, education, awareness and support services. - Chronic kidney disease affects more than 1 in 7 U.S. adults, or an estimated 35.5 million people, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. - About 9 in 10 adults with chronic kidney disease do not know they have it, which makes early screening and awareness especially important. - Heuser & Heuser’s sponsorship adds local business support to a health cause that affects families across Southern Colorado.

What happened: - Heuser & Heuser, L.L.P. said it is sponsoring the 2026 Southern Colorado Kidney Walk. - The annual event is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 27, 2026, at Memorial Park in Colorado Springs. - The National Kidney Foundation is hosting the walk. - Registration and check-in begin at 8:30 a.m., and the two-mile walk starts at 10 a.m.

The details: - The Kidney Walk supports kidney disease research, earlier diagnosis, improved treatment options and resources for individuals and families affected by kidney disease. - Funds raised through the walk remain in Southern Colorado. - Gordon Heuser, founding partner at Heuser & Heuser, is a kidney transplant recipient, and his brother donated the kidney that saved his life. - Heuser said in a 2026 KDZA interview that the money raised locally helps “your neighbors, your friends, and maybe even your family.” - The event is open to individuals, families, businesses and community organizations. - People who cannot attend can still support the event with a direct donation. - Registration, donation options and event details are available through the National Kidney Foundation at the Southern Colorado Kidney Walk page.

Between the lines: - Heuser & Heuser is tying its sponsorship to a personal family experience, which gives the event more emotional weight for the firm and its audience. - The local-retention model for donations is a key message because it frames the walk as a direct investment in Southern Colorado communities. - The sponsorship also reinforces the firm’s community-facing role beyond its legal work.

What’s next: - Southern Colorado residents can register, form teams, donate or help spread awareness ahead of the Sept. 27 walk. - The National Kidney Foundation will use participation and donations to support ongoing kidney disease efforts in the region. - Heuser & Heuser is encouraging clients, friends, neighbors and local businesses to get involved.

The bottom line: - The 2026 Southern Colorado Kidney Walk pairs a local health fundraiser with a personal cause for Heuser & Heuser, and the money raised will stay close to home.
