NAMI Fundraiser

The Fisk Foundation is excited to announce our very first fundraising event! This fundraiser will be benefitting NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). NAMI is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness.

According to NAMI:

• 20.6% of U.S. adults experienced mental illness in 2019 (51.5 million people). This represents 1 in 5 adults.
• 5.2% of U.S. adults experienced serious mental illness in 2019 (13.1 million people). This represents 1 in 20 adults.
• 16.5% of U.S. youth aged 6-17 experienced a mental health disorder in 2016 (7.7 million people)
• 3.8% of U.S. adults experienced a co-occurring substance use disorder and mental illness in 2019 (9.5 million people)

This event will feature live music, an open bar, food served, and a silent auction. We are currently accepting donations via PayPal on our website (www.thefisk.foundation), at the event on November 13, 2021, or in the form of volunteers, items for silent auction, and/or services provided.  We greatly appreciate and honor your support in making The Fisk Foundation an organization that can make a positive impact in our community!  We look forward to having you as a part of this journey, and look forward to seeing you at our inaugural event.
