The expo includes health screenings, educational booths, Zumba lessons, kidney-friendly cooking tips (from chef Aaron McCargo, Jr. of Food Network’s “Big Daddy’s House”), raffles, free prizes and giveaways. The theme is “Kidneys for Life: Donate-Receive,” centering on organ donation and transplantation. The fair will be held at the Temple University Health Sciences Center. More details are here.
