 On the morning of May 30, 2009, the weather was perfect, the ETS course well-marked, volunteers at the ready, and spirits high for the second NAMI Mercer Walk for the Mind of America. More than 600 walkers came out, some from as far north as Montclair and as far south as Camden, to take a stand against stigma and help us exceed our fund-raising goal of $75,000.
The event made a definite statement about the commitment of New Jerseyans to the mental health of their community. In addition to NAMI Mercer, we had teams representing nine other NAMI affiliates whose efforts raised more than $6,000 of our gross income of $84,682. Surpassing our goal in this difficult economic time demonstrates the value the community places on the work that we do.
 We had 49 registered teams, bringing in $52,000 in online and walk-day donations. Our sponsors––Bristol-Myers Squibb, Wyeth, PhRMA, Janssen, Roma Bank, The Hon. & Mrs. Joseph Irenas, Value Options, Capital Health Systems, Carrier Clinic, Catholic Charities, East Mountain Hospital, Greater Trenton Behavioral Health Care, Princeton House Behavioral Health, HACBM Architects, Engineers and Planners, Hopewell Valley Community Bank, Optimal Health & Wellness Solutions––generously contributed $32,640.
