NAMI Louisville's Spirit of Peace Award Dinner

The NAMI Louisville Annual Spirit of Peace Awards Dinner was held on March 20th, 2023, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Founder’s Union, 450 N Whittington Pkwy. In Tandem with Self-Harm Awareness Month this dinner brought awareness to self-harm and suicide prevention, not only honoring those working to rid our community of stigma but showcasing education and awareness about mental health issues in our community. 

The NAMI Louisville Annual Spirit of Peace Award Dinner serves as 1 of 2 large fundraisers for our organization which brings together our NAMI Louisville Members. Like our Step Forward for Mental Health Walk, we gather each Spring to support Mental Wellness in Kentuckiana. 

This dinner inspires a heartwarming celebration through guest speakers, a silent auction, music, educational opportunities, voting in board members, and the NAMI Louisville Awards presentation. These awards will be for our members to nominate those making great strides to provide mental wellness to Louisville. These are incredibly deserving individuals who we are glad to honor. 

 This year, NAMI Louisville raised over $9,000 to help bring needed services to Kentuckiana and make a decisive change in those who struggle with self-harm and live with mental health conditions. We are incredibly proud of our members and community for making such incredible progress towards our fundraising goal.
