NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Iowa serves as a catalyst around advocacy, education, support, and public awareness to help all Iowans affected by mental illness lead better lives.

In recognition of our continued partnership with NAMI Iowa, Drake is a supporter sponsor of the 2024 NAMIWalks Iowa event, on Saturday, Sept. 28 at Terra Park, 6400 Pioneer Pkwy, Johnston, IA from 8:30 a.m. to noon. 

You are welcome to participate on your own or form a team. And you can choose to walk either a 1K or 5K route.  Friendly leashed dogs, strollers, and wagons are welcome, but no bicycles or rollerblades.

Funds raised during this walk support NAMI’s free programs and the walk is a great way to get some fresh air, exercise, socialize, and support others.

If interested, please go to the NAMIWalks Iowa website to register yourself or your team. If you have questions, please contact Amanda Huppert, NAMI Iowa events manager, at amanda@namiiowa.org.
