Going Mobile!


Did you know that the number of smartphones is predicted to outnumber the world’s population in 2012? Chances are you or your donors (or both) have a smartphone!

Our NAMIWalks website offers several exciting new options for fundraising on your smartphone and online that can help you make a difference this season!

  1. I want to view all of this through the lens of what’s most important: what I'm trying to get done.
