2021 Annual Walk

NAMI Mahoning Valley is announcing its 2021 Annual Walk on Sunday, October 10th which is World Mental Health Day for 2021. Our theme this year is “Mental Health Matters”.

  • We would love to have you join us to help raise awareness and support people with mental illness.
  • We are a grassroots, 501(c)3 organization here in the Mahoning Valley providing support, advocacy and education through awareness activities, free educational programs, and support groups.
  • The Awareness Walk is our signature fundraising event and helps us provide support to the people in the Valley dealing with mental illness at no cost to them.
  • Our Walk is attended by many people dealing with mental illness in their own lives who walk to help break down barriers, reduce stigma and show that mental health is everyone’s concern.

We need your help to make this year’s Walk even bigger and better!  The past year has been a difficult one showing all of us that mental health matters to everyone!  Please help us help others dealing with mental illness by being an event sponsor, having a team from your organization, donating goods and services, having an informational table or donating a basket to our basket raffle.

Here's How it Works:

  • You can walk either as an individual, on a team organized by someone else or raise your own team.
  • Each individual or member of the team asks people they know to sponsor them on the Walk by making a small donation. You can ask family members, people you go to church with, your neighbors, the guy who runs the store down the street, your teachers, your classmates, the people you work with, etc. 
  • Bring yourself (or you & your team) to the Walk on Sunday, October 10th, 10:00 am at Wick Park on the Northside of Youngstown, and register to participate in the Walk below using our online pre-registration form. You may also register by turning in your Walker Registration form which can be downloaded below,  along with your contributions the day of the walk.  Enjoy the fun activities, events and the one mile Walk which begins at 1:00 pm.
  • You keep track of your contributions on your Walker Registration form.  A 2021 Walk Packet is accessible for you to download below to keep track on hand of the Walk event schedule, team rosters, your contributions, and more.
