The Ruth Gottscho Kidney Foundation is a nonprofit group founded by Ira and Eva Gottscho after their daughter Ruth’s death from renal failure in 1960. The Foundation was established in honor of Ruth's bravery and acceptance of a devastating disease. Gottscho Foundation operates strictly through volunteers and provides temporary funding for patients needing emergency transportation and medication.
Frost Valley YMCA Camp – The Foundation established a dialysis unit at the camp in 1975. The camp itself allows children with renal failure to enjoy a sleep-away camping experience.
