Revolution Health is hosting a health fair on their website to raise money for over a dozen non-profit health companies, such as NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). By clicking on NAMI’s virtual booth, you contribute 25 cents to their cause. For every 40,000 clicks a both receives, Revolution Health gives them $10,000. So here’s an easy way to support NAMI: Go to Revolution Health’s health fair by clicking here. Go inside the fair, and then click on NAMI’s booth, which is the second booth to the right in the third row.
The fair goes until Saturday. But you can only click once a day (I thought of that too).

About NAMI:

NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to improving the lives of persons living with serious mental illness and their families.
Mental illnesses are medical conditions that disrupt a person’s thinking, feeling, mood, ability to relate to others, and daily functioning.
Mental illnesses can affect persons of any age, race, religion, or income. Mental illnesses are not the result of personal weakness, lack of character, or poor upbringing. Mental illnesses are treatable.
Serious mental illnesses include major depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and borderline personality disorder. The good news about mental illness is that recovery is possible.
Other Programs
NAMI also offers other education and training programs such as Parents and Teachers as Allies and NAMI Support Group.
State and local NAMIs also offer a host of other programs. To find out more about the programs offered in your area, visit NAMI’s State and Affiliate Finder to contact the affiliate nearest you.
