The Alliance for Mental Wellness at Renaissance Learning is excited to invite you to participate in the 3rd Annual Stepping Up for Mental Health Walk—a powerful, purpose-driven event supporting NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness. As the nation’s largest grassroots mental health nonprofit, NAMI is transforming lives through education, advocacy, and support for individuals and families affected by mental illness. By joining this walk, you’re helping advance a mission that empowers people, strengthens families, and breaks down stigma where it matters most.
At Renaissance, the Alliance for Mental Wellness is committed to educating, advocating, and supporting mental wellness across our workplace—and we’ve seen firsthand how this impact reaches far beyond work, touching our homes, relationships, and communities. This blended walk, taking place May 14–17, 2026, makes participation easy and accessible wherever you are. Walk any way you choose, any distance you like, with anyone you want. We’ll also host an in-person walk on May 16 in Wisconsin Rapids at the Peach Street office, welcoming employees, friends, and family to come together and walk side by side in support of mental health.
Participants are encouraged to deepen their impact through fundraising by reaching out to friends, family, loved ones, local businesses, and community connections. Every dollar raised directly supports NAMI’s life-changing work. Fundraising can be completed right on the event site, or you can reach out to Andrea Mora (andrea.mora@renaissance.com) for support. Together, every step and every contribution sends a clear message: mental health matters, and we’re walking forward—together.
Together, let’s turn this event into a powerful force for change in support of NAMI. Every step you take matters—each one strengthens our shared commitment to empowering individuals, breaking stigma, and creating hope for those living with mental illness. This is more than participation; it’s standing up, speaking out, and showing up for something that truly matters.
Join us in moving with purpose, walking in solidarity, and making a lasting impact. Your support isn’t just symbolic—it can be life-changing. Let’s step up together and make a difference that truly counts. ????
