2024 NAMIWalks
The 2024 NAMIWalks NYC + Mental Health Street Fest was an incredible success with over 1 million dollars raised. NAMI has reached 96% of their fundraising goal— donate today to help them reach 100% of their goal! Artist Calicho joined the event and painted a live You Are Not Alone mural in Spanish. The day was an amazing celebration of New York community and a special day to come together to uplift and advocate for access to mental health resources. Thank you to NAMI NYC for their continued support of the project!
