“No one NAMIWalks alone” is more than a mantra—it’s the promise that guides us at the community’s most significant mental health fundraising event, NAMIWalks, on Saturday, May 16, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon at the RIO in Gaithersburg, MD.

Join the Haskins Family Foundation Supporting NAMI Team on May 16—in person or virtually—or consider making a donation to NAMI today. We hope you’ll walk with us on the road to Mental Health for All.

​

On May 3, we honor what would have been the 29th birthday of our late son, brother, and friend, Dwayne Haskins Jr. A passionate advocate for accessible mental health resources, Dwayne’s legacy continues to inspire us. We walk together in his loving memory, committed to carrying forward his mission.  Following the walk, please join us for bowling with Humanitarians, a joyful activity we loved sharing with Dwayne Jr., as we remember and celebrate his life.

​

Together, we support NAMIWalks to raise vital funds that connect individuals and families to the free, life-changing—and even life-saving—mental health programs and guidance NAMI provides.

By donating generously, you can help make this mission possible and stand with us in support of NAMIWalks.

#IAmNAMIWalks — #WeAreNAMIWalks

​

Mental Health for All remains the 2026 NAMIWalks mantra—now more important than ever. That’s why we unite and walk as one community in NAMIWalks 2026, and why every dollar raised is critical to sustaining the programs that bring hope, healing, and help to so many.

​

Thank you for being part of this movement. Together, we are NAMIWalks—and together, we bring hope, comfort, and connection. While each day can sometimes feel like piecing together a puzzle, NAMIWalks reminds us that the bigger picture can be bright and full of possibility.

​

Let’s come together to meet one of our greatest challenges: building connection and standing as a beacon against hopelessness—creating a moment that makes NAMIWalks truly unforgettable.
