NAMI Whatcom Stigma Stomp 2018

The Stigma Stomp is NAMI Whatcom's annual fundraiser to generate funds to benefit our free programming throughout the year to anyone in Whatcom County who is affected by mental illness. This year is going to be our biggest and best yet! Join NAMI Whatcom and the community for our annual event, and Fun Run/Walk to support mental health awareness!  The run/walk will begin and end at Bloedel Donovan Park, meandering along a circuitous route through Whatcom Falls Park. Not only will there be a fun run/walk, but also door prizes, therapy animals, refreshments, a Memory Board, and lots of info on local mental health resources.

Stigma Stomp 2018 Teams! This year participants can create and /or join superhero themed teams. Of course you may also chose to participate as a lone superhero!  Leading up to the event team captains will receive periodic emails from NAMI Whatcom staff including new registrants that have joined their teams.  Teams can consist of  stompers, virtual stompers, or a combination of both.  Every Fun Run participant will receive 1 door prize ticket and there will be prizes for team captains who raise the most in donations.

This year stompers may choose to complete 1 loop of the course (2.2 miles) or 2 loops(4.1 miles). 

For the second year, we invite you to help us remember our loved ones who have died due to mental health issues.  On the day of the run we will have a Memory Board. Bring a picture, poem, or another memento to post.

Our theme this year is NAMI Superheros! Prepare your capes and best superhero attire to stomp out mental health stigma with NAMI Whatcom County!
