Proko-Wall staff will be supporting mental health and suicide prevention by participating in or donating to two upcoming walks in the Green Bay area.  The National Alliance on Mental Illness will hold their annual NAMIWalks on September 22 at Green Isle Park.  NAMIWalk is celebrating its 16th anniversary and is the alliance's major fundraiser.  When you walk or donate, you join the movement to raise awareness of mental illness and assist individuals in our community currently struggling with mental illness.  Go to www.namiwalks.org to register.  Be the Light Walk is September 15th at the KI Convention center.  This walk aims to reduce the stigma and prevent suicide.  Your participation helps with suicide awareness, prevention, and postvention in Brown County.   Go to http://thedriven.net/bethelight.race-reg/ to register. To view more on social media see #JoinTheMovement and @bethelightwalk!
