2nd Annual Breakfast of Champions

On Saturday, Jan. 30, NAMI Southwestern Pennsylvania honored its wonderful and dedicated volunteers with the 2nd Annual Breakfast of Champions at The Chadwick in Wexford, Pa.


NAMI volunteers are a diverse and passionate group that help fulfill our mission of support, education and advocacy. The Breakfast of Champions allows NAMI to gather with volunteers to thank them for the time and energy it takes to:

• Direct our organization through strong board involvement
• Offer high quality educational programming
• Facilitate meaningful support group activity
• And help ensure the success of major events like the NAMI Walk

According to Executive Director Chris Michaels (pictured below), "Volunteers are the heart of our regional grassroots effort to help families and individuals affected by mental illness."
