The 6th Annual Mid Carolina NAMIWalks will be held Saturday April 20, 2013 at the West Columbia Riverwalk Park and Amphitheater. The goal of the walk is to raise awareness regarding mental illness within the Midlands of South Carolina and to increase funding
to expand the reach of NAMI’s educational and support programs in our community. The proceeds from the Walk will be used by NAMI Mid-Carolina: - To provide hands-on support and education to persons with serious brain disorders and to their families - To advocate
for improved opportunities for housing, rehabilitation and meaningful jobs - To support public education programs designed to help eliminate the pervasive stigma surrounding mental illness which often prevents people from seeking treatment Your support can
help NAMI Mid-Carolina meet these goals in our community. You can lend your support as a Corporate Sponsor, a Team Captain, a Walker or perhaps as all three - please contact us to learn more about this exciting opportunity for the Midlands of South Carolina!
