Advocacy Opportunities

The Step Forward Walk

This event is our largest of the year! With regular attendance of more than 400, join us in the fall for a fun day of community involvement, advocacy, and mental health education. 

A Taste For Life 

In memory of celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain, this event was created by local restaurant owners to spread awareness of mental illness in the service industry. Hosted at Four Pegs in Germantown in the summer, this event is a great day of food and mental health advocacy for an industry we all utilize. 

Annual Membership Event: The Spirit of Peace Award Dinner

This springtime formal gala is a wonderful opportunity for us at NAMI Louisville to thank our members, supporters, and directors for their efforts to increase mental health education and support in our community. Dinner, guest speakers, and a silent auction make this event an annual favorite. 

Coach Casey Classic

This fall memorial golf scramble is in honor of Casey Schaftlein, a Louisville native who lost his life to suicide. This event has raised more than $50,000 in its two year run, and the more than 100 golfers who make it possible have created an event that helps highlight the mental health epidemic that affects young people in our community.
