Congratulations to Arielle Perry, our Participant Sign-Up Challenge winner! She’s taking home a NAMI swag basket filled with some of our favorite NAMI goodies. Way to go, Arielle!

Plus, there’s never been a better time to donate. We have a $10,000 DONATION MATCH happening now, meaning your gift can go TWICE as far in supporting free mental health programs and services in our community.
