Launched in 2003, the NAMI Northwest Walk helps raise public awareness and crucial funds for NAMI Multnomah. As our largest event, 2,000 people from all across the state of Oregon, as well as Southwest Washington, join together to make a statement that recovery is possible; that mental health matters; and that people living with mental illness are a valuable part of our community.
Join NAMI Multnomah along with three City of Portland Commissioners, Portland Police, families and friends to walk in the largest fundraiser for NAMI Multnomah with $55,000 raised last year.
