On Saturday, May 7th Options assembled more than 100 volunteers to participate in the NAMI walks for mental health at Jones Beach. NAMI Walks events bring together people of all ages and fitness levels across the United States to combat stigma, raise funds and promote awareness of mental illness. According to NAMI, “Each NAMIWalks 5K event is a celebration of recovery—a time when we come together to let the world know we are #stigmafree.”
Team Options raised more than $5,500 to support NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness. NAMI is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. To learn more about NAMI, visit www.nami.org
