Seven San Francisco Bay Area NAMI affiliates work together to create this important event to support services for mental illness.  They will share in the proceeds from the walk which will be used locally to underwrite and support much-needed Bay Area programs.

mind-members-09The 2010 sponsoring affiliates represent Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Solano counties.

Take a step to stomp on stigma……Register today to walk in the 6th annual Bay Area NAMIWalk!
