Ready for NAMIWALKS

Join the 2009 Butler County NAMI Walks for the Mind of America on Saturday October 10th. Registration starts at 8:30; Walk at 10 AM. This is a family event where we welcome children, babies in strollers, family pets and everyone in the community interested in promoting mental health awareness. We have fun, food, music, balloon-making, face painting - something fun for everyone!

If you haven't signed up for our walk you can do so by going to www.nami.org, click NAMI Walks on top of page, and follow directions to sign up online as an individual walker, a team captain or a walker on someone else's team. Or just show up on the day of the walk! The more people we have, the more powerful the message that mental health is important in Butler County.
