NAMIWalks Washington

Join us on May 31, 2025

It’s time for our largest event of the year!

We’re just days away from the NAMIWalks Washington event at Magnuson Park, Seattle – with plenty of time to say Yes! and join the fun on a beautiful Saturday morning…

Come, feel the power of people moving together for joyful solidarity to uplift awareness of Mental Health for All. You’ll be part of almost 200 Walks happening around the country in an orchestrated commitment to community wellbeing across America.

How can you be part of this?! There are so many ways:

·       Sign up as an individual or as part of an existing Team – it’s always free to join the event, and the fundraising level is your choice!

·       Walk, or don’t walk, or walk a shortened route – Kite Hill offers a few ‘shortcuts’ along the paved walking path for a more manageable distance as needed. You’ll find water stations with volunteers at these intersections to help guide your choice. You can set out and gauge your energy level accordingly. We also need people to visit our Resource Fair along Lake Washington and cheer on walkers as they return. So, again, how you participate is up to you!

·       Bring your dog on a leash, your child in a stroller, set out in your wheelchair, have your older child push their scooter… we can embrace all variety of movers on NAMIWalks day!

·       If you’re loving the work of NAMI Washington from afar, or you can’t be there on May 31, 2025, you can simply make a donation – to the organization as a whole or to your chosen Team – and you’ll be contributing to the largest mental health organization in the nation. We’ll feel it 😊

·       You love volunteering and having an active role at large gatherings? Great!  Visit this page to see volunteer positions available for NAMIWalks Washington 2025

 This is our time, as Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a triumphant close, to be together and insist on improving the lives of those affected by mental illness – which is all of us. We look forward to seeing you there!
