he Event
NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Walks for the Mind of America is a day that seems almost magical, with over a thousand people coming together to learn more about mental illness, develop stronger ties with one another, and celebrate a beautiful day with friends and loved ones.
The Reason
One in five people will be treated for a biological brain disorder at some point in life. NAMI Walks for the Mind of America, the annual NAMI San Diego County fundraiser, is a big part of the solution. Financial support that NAMI receives from the Walk is used for its programs that increase mental health recovery and reduce mental illness stigma.
Create a Walk Team!
The success of the San Diego County NAMI Walk comes through the establishment of walk teams. The formation of your team will help spread the awareness about the work NAMI does for the mental health community.

Hullabaloo
These local favorites like to say “We’re proud to be part of a growing number of artists that have found a way to honor and entertain kids without making their parents want to jump out of a moving mini-van.” Steve and Brendan put on a fun show that includes traces of twang, funk, rock, folk and blues. They play the time-tested favorites we all grew up with and write songs that make kids laugh, think, sing, dance, clap and stomp their feet!
Rhythm Child
Based in LA, Norman Jones and his Rhythm Child Band is a family affair. Rhythm Child\’s award-winning songs are a mix of drum loops, live percussion, soulful vocals, upbeat arrangements, and classic melodies. NCM is happy to announce they are bringing their positive vibes and great music to San Diego!
BITS Band
San Diego County\’s Blues In the Schools Program draws on a pool of local and visiting blues musicians for its live shows. Professional artists share the power and cultural significance of the uniquely American musical art form, the blues. They sing, play and impress using age-appropriate lyrics, while having children participate through call-and-response singing and rhythmic expression.
Paul Green School of Rock
NCM’s favorite house band, and a favorite with our visitors, too. These kids know how to rock! (Courtesy of Thinkplaycreate.org/)
