 Welcome to NAMIWalks Chicago.

The walk that’s so much more than a walk.

We hit the ground moving for our 3.1 mile walk. We still need help fundraising toward our $200K goal!

Here are the logistics:
Date: Saturday, October 5th, 2024
Time: 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Location: Jackson Park (5700 E Hayes Dr, Chicago, IL 60649)

The NAMIWalks Legacy

See ya later, stigma! NAMIWalks Chicago is our annual walk and community event. Each year, we come together to raise funds and awareness for critical free mental health support services, education and advocacy in Chicago and beyond. Every dollar raised helps us take another step forward to prioritize mental wellness and build community.

This October, we will gather as a community in Jackson Park in support of mental health. As we continue to face an ever-changing worldwide landscape, we celebrate the hard work behind us as well as the healing and hope ahead. This year, NAMIWalks is so much more than a walk. It is an opportunity for you to connect with like-minded individuals who want to end the stigma for mental illness and be a part of a supportive community.
