Cenpatico will continue its pursuit of raising awareness for mental health when it takes part in the 2010 NAMIWalk in Milwaukee, Wis. on Saturday.

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) will host five NAMIWalks throughout Wisconsin this weekend, and Cenpatico has sponsored a Walk Team for the NAMI Greater Milwaukee event.

“This is an important way to bring attention to those afflicted with mental illness and to fight the stigma associated with it,” said Provider Relations Specialist Kristel L. Johns, who will be among the Cenpatico contingent at the event.

The three-mile benefit walk will begin at 10 a.m. at Veteran’s Park at the Milwaukee County War Memorial Center – 1010 N Lincoln Memorial Drive.

The honorary chairman of the Greater Milwaukee NAMIWalk is Greg Jennings, an all-pro wide receiver with the Green Bay Packers who will chair the event alongside his wife, Nicole.

Refreshments, music and other forms of entertainment will follow the walk.

Registration for the event is free of charge. For more information on the Greater Milwaukee 2010 NAMIWalk, logon to www.nami.org/namiwalks10/grm.
