NAMI Walks
NAMI Walks Massachusetts
Join us for a stigma free, joyful day and help raise funds. NAMI Walks Massachusetts is our biggest fundraiser. Each spring we gather to stand up against stigma, raise funds, and promote awareness of mental health. You won’t want to miss the fun and the meaningful community experience on Saturday, May 18th, so go ahead and register!
The new 2024 location in the Boston Common opens up layers of fresh energy to the event. It dramatically increases our visibility to the public and state legislators, accommodates more mental health support organization tents to peruse, and allows for fun activities like corn hole, face painting, and giant Jenga and Connect Four. Plus there will be snow cones & food vendors, music & inspiring speakers. Stay tuned for details about the t-shirt design contest. The large Boston Common parking garage is right on the premises. A layout map is available below.
Walk, Raise Funds, Donate. . . or Do All Three!
Participants can join one of our established NAMI Central Middlesex walking teams, or captain one of their own under the Central Middlesex umbrella. The fundraising effort is supported by the easy to use NAMI Walks platform. Once you summon the courage to ask, you’ll find that folks are eager to give to support local mental health. Walk with us, raise funds, donate, or do all three!
For a simple registration option for walking at the event and/or raising funds, select the NAMI Walks Central Middlesex button below. If a quick donation is more your speed, then click on the NAMI Walks Central Middlesex Donation button. Our volunteers work diligently to bring supportive healing programs to our communities. Your donation and fund raising efforts ensure we continue our empathetic outreach and education.
On the day of the event you will be able to connect with us personally at our NAMI Central Middlesex canopy table located on the Walk’s “Affiliate Avenue” near the Parkman Bandstand. Once the action starts we’ll be behind our Walk banner as these participants were in 2023.
