NAMIWalks Richland County
NAMIWalks Richland County will take place at Ontario Marshall Park in Mansfield, Ohio, featuring a 5K run, a free 1-mile fun walk, and a public family fun day. The event benefits NAMI Richland County, a mental health nonprofit organization. Its goals are to raise funds, support local education and advocacy, and combat mental health stigma.
