NAMIWALKS - Early Results
NAMI members and friends,
The NAMIWalk on Saturday was great! There was a lot of energy and enthusiasm to make the mental health community better known in Warren County.
We brought in about $3500 that day which brings our total to a little over $8000 from Walkers and another $2025 from sponsors so we are just a little over $10,000 for this walk.
I do expect more donations to continue to come in for the next few weeks. I received some donations in the mail on Saturday that have not been added to this total....so we may reach our goal of $15,000 with a little help from our friends and maybe some nudging!!!
