It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved Board Member, Charles C. Anderson, Sr.

Mr. Anderson first became involved with the Alabama Kidney Foundation as the 2020 North Alabama Honorary Walk Chair. The mission was deeply personal to both he and his wife, Hilda B. Anderson, and that personal connection inspired years of dedicated service to kidney patients and their families.

He later joined AKF’s Board of Directors, where his leadership, generosity, and vision helped shape the future of our organization. Mr. Anderson was instrumental in establishing the Shoals as its own region, expanding our ability to serve local kidney patients and their families, and his generosity made it possible for Katie Gets a Kidney, our children’s kidney health educational coloring book, to reach children in schools and hospitals across Alabama.

Mr. Anderson’s commitment to improving the lives of Alabama kidney patients strengthened our mission and left an enduring mark on our organization. The Alabama Kidney Foundation would not be the organization it is today without his involvement, and we are forever grateful for his leadership and faithful service.

We extend our deepest condolences to the Anderson family, his friends, and all whose lives were touched by his generosity.

His legacy will live on through the work he helped make possible and the countless lives he impacted.
