THE WALK IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING - OCTOBER 8TH | 10:00 AM | SAVE THE DATE!

The Halloween candy is now appearing in the stores and that can only mean one thing: The 6^th Annual 5K NAMI Walk is almost here. Please save the date, October 8th at 10:00 AM. It's a fun day which includes free refreshments, music, and a great walk along the bike path (starting and finishing at The Fitton Center). Kids and pets are welcome as well so it's a great family event! 

Please see if you can start a team at your place of work, place of worship, or among family and friends. All money raised goes toward the operating costs of NAMI Butler County. If you don't want to walk, you can still create a team of walkers. We also happily accept individual donations.  

We also need many volunteers to help set up, blow up balloons, serve refreshments, assist with registration, host our information table, do face painting, pass out water on the walk path and clean up when it's all done. For more information or to sign up to volunteer, please call (513) 860-8386 or email info@nami-bc.org!
