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.
