The Alliance for Mental Wellness at Renaissance Learning is hosting the first annual Stepping Up For Mental Health blended walk, benefiting NAMI. NAMI is the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the nation's largest grass roots non-profit for mental illness.
The Alliance for Mental Wellness has a mission at Renaissance, which is to educate, advocate and offer support for mental wellness within the company. We have found, however, that when we carry out this mission, the benefits extend out to our lives outside of work as well as our local communities.
This event is considered blended, and will take place from May 16th-19th. During that time, no matter where you are, you can walk when you choose, for however long you choose, in any way you want, with whoever you want! We will be offering in-person options in Wisconsin Rapids, WI and Bloomington, MN on May 18th. The in-person option is meant for any participants, both internal employees as well as friends and family, to come together in a central location and walk with each other.
You would register for the event separately, and then raise funds on your own, benefiting NAMI. We are also hosting a t-shirt/hoodie campaign with our custom walk logo on them, some of the proceeds also going towards our event fundraising efforts. These can be purchased here:
