Why Support the NAMI Fort Wayne Run White & Blue 5K?
NAMI Fort Wayne envisions a world where all people affected by mental illness live healthy, fulfilling lives supported by a community that cares. We work to improve the total quality of life through support, education, outreach, and advocacy.
Your sponsorship of our annual Run White & Blue 5K allows us to fulfill our mission.
The Run White & Blue 5K encourages individuals with mental illness, their families, friends, and supporters that they are not alone in their struggles.
The Run White & Blue 5K promotes community awareness of the prevalence of mental illness and the opportunities for recovery. By simply starting the conversation and giving people space to share their stories, we can eliminate the social stigma of discussing mental health challenges.
The Run White & Blue 5K provides essential funding for the smooth operation of our office and programs. We offer support groups and free education courses for persons with mental illness, their families, caregivers and loved ones. We arrange public education nights featuring professionals from our community to grow understanding, build empathy and promote interventions that can lead to better lives. We participate in community outreach events, distribute free, printed educational materials, publish a bimonthly eNewsletter and consistently update our website to connect people to the resources they need on their journey.
Your sponsorship helps build a better future for everyone affected by mental illness in a hope-filled, realistic way.
