PARSIPPANY — The Woman’s Club of Parsippany-Troy Hills (WCPTH) will participate in NAMI WALKS at the boardwalk in Seaside Park Saturday, May 14.
NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness.
The theme of this year’s walk is “Step Forward for Our Heroes.” Join their efforts to raise money for the millions of people and their families who struggle with mental illness each day.
Every two years, members of the New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Clubs of GFWC (NJSFWC) throughout the state support a defined special project with fundraising, in-kind donations and public awareness campaigns. NAMI New Jersey has been the Special Project for 2014-2016, offering an extraordinary opportunity to educate all communities across the state about mental illness and its impact on individuals and families through club activities and initiatives.
These past two years Woman’s Club of Parsippany-Troy Hills has advocated for NAMI NJ by offering programs to help educate the community, receiving proclamations from Parsippany Mayor James Barberio, selling chocolate bars for veterans suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome and by participating in the NAMI Walks and other projects.
Last year, the club helped to raise over $1,100 from donations in the Walk at Seaside Park.
