NAMI WALKS for the Mind of America

The NAMIWalks is the key that can open the door for consumer and family advocates.  The walk is designed to raise awareness about mental illness, to increase community education and reach out to new families and individuals living with mental illness, and to support local NAMI affiliates to build a larger NAMI community.  The NAMIWalks is our yearly signature fundraising event.  Please join us in celebration of hope and recovery for those less fortunate than ourselves.

The 2010 NAMI Walks for the Mind of America will be held at the Spring Mobile Field on Saturday, September 18th, 2010--Get your team organized today!!
