NAMIWalks - Sept. 22, 2018
Every year, we take part in the NAMIWalks on the last Saturday in September at Minnehaha Park in Minneapolis. We walk to help raise awareness and end stigma in Minnesota. Our team, the "Tremolos" grows larger each year as we are part of nearly 4,000-5000 people who come together. This year, we had 15 walkers and raised nearly $7000! Funds raised during this walk help to support the operation and programs of NAMI.
Holiday Gift DriveEach December, NAMI Grand Rapids Area solicits donations for gift bags to be distributed to patients at the in-patient psychiatric unit at Fairview University Medical Center-Mesabi in Hibbing. This year, we filled 34 gift bags with gift cards, winter hats, warm socks, toiletries, soaps, journals, fitness bands, games/puzzle & activity books, snacks & gums, bookmarks, other miscellaneous items, and personalized Christmas cards with inspiring notes from Kiesler House members.
