NAMI’s major national, state and local fundraiser of the year. Local affiliates recruit sponsors to support local walk teams as we walk to advocate for increased awareness of mental health issues and to reduce the stigma of mental illness in our society. Walk activities begin in early spring and culminate with the Walk in May.
By supporting local NAMI Wichita teams, 50% of the funds raised pay for local programming and 50% of the funds support NAMI Kansas’ trainings of NAMI members who teach education programs, present NAMI programs and facilitate support groups.
