Keeping NAMIWalk Teams Engaged Throughout the Year!

NAMIWalk teams shouldn't get together only once a year to walk in the NAMIWalk; instead they should get together many times during the year! As a group, the team members should host FUN activities and gatherings so team members stay engaged and keep the momentum going. Hosting year-round happenings will help teams to grow and friendships to blossom, so when it comes time to walk in the NAMIWalk, the team will be excited and ready to raise funds and awareness!

Teams can host monthly or bi-monthly gatherings, such as:

Breakfast/brunch/lunch/dinner at someone's home or at a restaurant

A night at the movies

Game/movie night at someone’s home

Attend a sporting event

Visit a museum

Take a bus trip to a FUN destination

Host a happy hour

Attend a theatrical performance or concert

Have a picnic or barbeque

Host a poetry night

Take a walk through a park

Take an exercise class

A trip to the beach or lake

The ideas are endless!

Team captains don’t always have to host each event; instead the team members can take turns. Remember, a team that plays together, not only stays together, but also raises more money and awareness together!
