CW Participates at NAMIWalks

On Saturday, May 16^th, The College of Westchester walked to support our local NAMI chapter (the National Alliance on Mental Illness).  It started off weather-wise as a very rainy day, but this wasn’t going to stop the CW team from supporting this important cause!  The CW team that helped raise funds and those that participated in the walk included Mary Beth Del Balzo, Colleen McCartin, Cassandra McFadden, Nellie Capellan, Andy Capellan, Nichole Herrera, Erik Herrera, Esperanza Cruz, Nancy Trim, Christine Louangsiyotha, Joseph Handibode, Maria Gangi, Erica Schacht, led by team captain Diana Cusumano.  

            Team CW is proud to be able to raise awareness for NAMI, whose mission is advocating for access to services, treatment, support, research and continual raising awareness on mental illness. NAMI is a unique organization that offers the kind of understanding and care that only those who have lived the experience of mental illness can provide.  They offer multiple programs to provide support to those that have a mental illness as well as those with a loved one that has a mental illness.

            Thanks to the support of our College of Westchester family and friends and loved ones, the CW team was so far able to fundraise well over our expected goal amount!  We are still collecting donations if you would like to contribute.  The link to do so is   https://securewalks.nami.org/registrant/TeamFundraisingPage.aspx?teamID=591300#&panel1-2
