NAMI/other Mental Health Walk roundup and thanks

With cold weather returning to much of the U.S., the mental health walk season is winding down. Looking back, the efforts made by Team Rogers are truly astounding and something to be proud of.

Among the many walks, Rogers often met or exceeded its team fundraising goal, helping to raise donations for mental health causes.

In particular, Rogers had a strong showing at the recent Milwaukee Out of the Darkness Walk for suicide prevention, where 35 walkers on the Rogers team raised $1,784, surpassing our goal of $1,000. In total, almost 2,500 people helped by raising more than $141,000 for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Check out photos from this walk in the gallery above.

Team Rogers attended many other walks, including the Oshkosh 5K for Mental Health and Suicide Awareness, several 1 Million Steps for OCD Walks, and Madison NEDA Walk.

Thanks to everyone who took time out to participate and fight against stigma!
