It's a Gathering! It's a Movement! It's NAMIWalks!
NAMIWalks Vermont brings together people of all ages to combat stigma, raise funds, and promote awareness of mental health conditions at an annual walk event. This yearly walkathon is our largest event, outreach campaign, and fundraiser.
The goals of this event are to bring together peers, families, community members, organizers, and supporters to:
1) Raise awareness and reduce stigma surrounding mental illness.
2) To raise funds for NAMI's top-rated free programming and services to Vermonters.
3) To build community and let people know that they are not alone.
On June 1st, we will gather at the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Burlington at 152 Pearl Street in Burlington Vermont. We will walk, have a kickoff ceremony, build excitement, and walk 2.5K through the streets of Burlington with signs, drums, costumes to promote Mental Health for All. Our event is open to all and what makes this unique is that we will be joining hundreds of others who are participating in NAMIWalks happening around the country on June 1st.
As we walk - we knock down walls - we tackle obstacles - we release dreams - and we realize that we are not alone. Join us. Be NAMIWalks.
