THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED THE 2018 NAMIWALKS MARYLAND KICKOFF!
We had a very successful 2018 NAMIWalks Maryland Kickoff - Trivia Edition on April 3 at the Union Jack's in Columbia. This event signaled the official launch of the 2018 NAMI Walks Maryland!
Guests meet and mingle at the 2018 NAMIWalks Kickoff Over 1/2 of the people in attendance were brand new to NAMIWalks and came out to learn how they could be the best team captain they could be. They received information on how to create their own teams and creative fundraising ideas. Veteran team captains shared their stories on why they walk. Afterwards, everyone competed for fun prizes to see who knew the most NAMI and Maryland trivia.
Guests also learned about the new team captain challenge as well as the NAMIWalks Maryland t-shirt contest (please see below for more details about both events).
Couldn't attend? Don't worry! Team captain packets are available for pickup at the NAMI Maryland office. Contact Ilisa Oman at (410) 884-8691 or connection@namimd.org for a packet or CLICK HERE to get your team captain materials.
