The Alliance for Mental Wellness at Renaissance Learning is proud to host the 2nd annual
Stepping Up for Mental Health blended walk, supporting NAMI—the National Alliance on Mental Illness. As the nation's largest grassroots nonprofit dedicated to mental health, NAMI is changing lives through
support, education, and advocacy. Their mission is clear:
to empower individuals, uplift families, and break the stigma surrounding mental illness.The Alliance for Mental Wellness has a mission at Renaissance, lining up with NAMI's, 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 15th-18th. 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 17th. 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 together!
In addition to registering for the event, you can complete fundraising on your own by contacting friends, family, other loved one, local businesses, community connections, etc. Any funds you raise on your own can be done right on this site or you can contact Andrea Mora (
andrea.mora@renaissance.com)
We also have a t-shirt fundraiser happening via Bonfire.com. You can order your shirt here:

Together, let’s make this event a powerful force for change in support of NAMI. Your participation matters. Every step we take strengthens our commitment to empowering individuals, breaking stigma, and fostering hope for those living with mental illness.
Join us in moving for a cause, standing in solidarity, and creating a lasting impact. Your support isn’t just a gesture—it’s a lifeline. Let’s step up together and make a difference that truly counts!
