FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) \u2014 With the 22nd Annual NAMIWalks Fresno approaching, organizers say the window is closing for businesses and groups that want their names included on official event T-shirts and banners.<\/p>\n
Sponsorship commitments must be received within the next two weeks to be included on event materials. <\/p>\n
It’s also time for you to get registered or to create your own team.<\/p>\n
The walk takes place on May 16 at Woodward Park and FOX26 News and CW59 are proud partners, and our own Justin Willis will once again be the emcee of the event.<\/p>\n
NAMI Fresno is working toward a $75,000 fundraising goal and is seeking sponsors and partners who support community well-being and mental health awareness. <\/p>\n
The organization provides no-cost education, support, and advocacy for individuals and families affected by mental illness, and says money raised through NAMIWalks Fresno directly supports local programs and services for people facing mental health challenges.<\/p>\n
Organizers say sponsorships are designed to offer community visibility and engagement opportunities, including logo placement on walk T-shirts, banners and promotional materials, as well as employee team-building and volunteer options.<\/p>\n
There are multiple ways to get involved, including becoming an event sponsor, starting or joining a corporate team, reserving an on-site community table \u2014 with only a few table spots remaining \u2014 or making a tax-deductible donation. <\/p>\n
Organizers are encouraging potential sponsors to act soon to secure placement on event materials.<\/p>\n
