From the Organizer
The NAMI Arkansas 5K Run/Walk to End the Stigma raises funds for NAMI Arkansas programs that support, educate, and advocate for those affected by mental illness. It also provides a place to celebrate and honor those living with mental health issues and remember those with a mental health condition who have passed on.
The End the Stigma 5K is the sole fundraiser hosted by NAMI Arkansas annually - please consider including a donation when you register. If you are interested in supporting NAMI by running or walking, but live in the Central Arkansas area, consider joining our event in North Little Rock on Saturday, October 11. Details and registration information can be found at this link.
NAMI Arkansas is a private, non-profit organization whose mission is to help people living with mental illness, families, and the community.
