Thank you to everyone who joined our Never Walk Alone virtual presentation today.

Although severe weather required us to change our plans at the last minute, our community still gathered to remember those lost to su***de, support survivors, and raise awareness about su***de prevention.

If you ordered a T-shirt, you may pick it up at the NAMI McHenry County office, located at 338 Memorial Drive in Crystal Lake. The office is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

There is still time to support Never Walk Alone. All funds raised stay in McHenry County to support local su***de prevention programs and support groups.
