Rafters Baseball Night
Thanks to all who came out on June 21st for the Wisconsin Rapids Rafter's Mental Health Awareness night. So good to see so many folks supporting those whose lives are affected by this disease. It was nice to meet Doug Christianson, the new Wood County Mental Health Officer and chat with Sheriff Shawn Becker. NAMI Portage-Wood County thanks all the volunteers and board members who were available to answer questions, offer resources and hand out green ribbons. We also thank the Rafter's baseball organization for working with non-profits and supporting the cause.
