The NAMIWalks event will be taking place on Saturday, May 17, 2025, at 9:00 am in Pack Square Park.
This annual event aims to raise awareness and funds for mental health in our community – highlighting the need to protect Medicaid which serves 30% of people with significant mental health challenges (and 26% of people in WNC – with some counties, such as Swain being 48%!). Medicaid saves lives.
NAMIWalks is an event which will feature speakers, activities, mental health community partners, and a 1 mile walk through downtown Asheville.

The event is free and you can register online or the morning of the event…
