Can't Attend This Year's AfterBurn?
You Can Still Support Our Mission Through NAMI-Do-It-Your-Way!
If you're still looking to support NAMI Wood County's AfterBurn this fall, consider doing a NAMI Do-It-Your-Way fundraiser.
NAMI Do-It-Your-Way is a program that encourages mental health supporters to turn what they love into a fundraising initiative for NAMI Wood County. You can decide what you want to do - a birthday fundraiser, an athletic event or a hobby like baking, crafting or knitting - and design your own fundraising campaign on behalf of NAMI Wood County.
No doubt about it. The fastest way to raise funds and awareness for NAMI is your way, at your pace, with your ingenuity and passion. You'll be doing something you love, for something the community needs. Mental Health for All is going to take all we've got, starting with you.
Let your instinct and imagination be your guides. There's no limit to what you can accomplish when you do it your way.
