NAMIWalk set for May 30th

Final preparations are well underway for our second annual Greater Philadelphia NAMIWalks for the Mind of America, Saturday May 30th at Memorial Hall (the Please Touch Museum) in Philadelphia.

If you have not already, please go to our website www.nami.org/namiwalks/pa/philly to join a team or make a contribution.

Funds raised from the 2008 Walk have been used for:

• Providing work opportunities and stipends for Certified Peer Specialists at the homeless shelter in Norristown
• Joining ArtReach and purchasing tickets to plays and concerts that are free of charge to mental health consumers
• Providing monthly pizza and movie parties at the six peer resource centers in Montgomery County

And there are plans for many more exciting “Consumer Enrichment “ programs from our 2009 NAMIWalks funds. All donations are 100% tax deductible and are guaranteed to be put to good use.

You can also mail a contribution to our office. Make checks payable and mail to:
