Join USH as NAMI Walks for the Mind of America

This walk happens in over 70 cities across North America, and has raised over 12 million dollars over the last 5 years. Hawaii is priviledged to be a part of this walk for the first time this year.

We’ve entered into a shared agreement with NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), and 50% of all proceeds received by USH will stay with USH. There is no cost to USH, as NAMI has agreed to absorb all expenses. This is truly a great opportunity for us to heighten the level of awareness, stomp out stigma, and make some money for seriously needed programs. I hope you will be a part of this exciting adventure.
