CUSOMIZING THE TOOLKIT
We provided some sample posts and images below, but ultimately, this is your fundraiser. You are reaching out to your network asking them to support a cause we all care about. Make it yours!
Need some ideas?
Skip the copy/paste text and make your own! Tell people why YOU believe in NAMI Racine County. You were nominated by a staff or a board member to participate, so we know you are passionate about this.
e.g. “My sister lives with schizophrenia. She’s found great support through NAMI Racine County’s peer support group! Please consider a gift to help them raise $5000 this month! www.namiracinecounty.org/donate”
e.g. “I give because __[insert your reason for giving]__. Please join me in donating $25 to NAMI Racine County.”
Be specific. Suggest a dollar amount!
e.g. “May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Support NAMI Racine County this month by giving $5 to help bring hope to people impacted by mental illness. Every dollar helps! www.namiracinecounty.org/donate”
Tag people you know would want to give, but may not see your post! Your posts might not be reaching the people you think they are. If you tag someone with the “@” symbol in your post, it’ll send them a notification!
e.g. “Hey @mom, @friend, @coworker, @neighbor – I know that you care about mental health! Help NAMI Racine County reach $5000 during Mental Health Awareness Month by joining me in giving $100!”

#MentalHealthAwarenessMonth is all about reducing #stigma unfairly associated with mental illness. Our advocacy team is dedicated to improving lives everyday by meeting with legislators, offering panel discussions, and providing a resource line staffed by a Certified Peer Specialist to help you navigate the complex mental health system.
