Young Professionals Night Out for Mental Health
Young Professionals Night Out for Mental Health each spring is a unique fundraising and networking event for young people who have lived experience with mental health challenges or are passionate about mental health care access for all. Join our Young Professionals.
Marathon & Half Marathon
We have dedicated individuals who fundraise and run for the United Airlines Half Marathon team in March and TCS NYC Marathon team in November. Our runners share their stories, break stigma, and forge lifelong friendships. We bring NAMI-NYC runners together for meetings, community building activities, and fitness pointers from a trained coach. Apply to join our team here.
DIY Fundraisers
With DIY fundraisers, community members can share their passion for NAMI-NYC’s work and use their creativity to host their own events. For your birthday, launch a Facebook fundraiser. Want to do something more social? Host a dinner party, happy hour, or summer barbeque and ask your family and friends to give, in any amount.
