Tour de NAMI 2025 🚲
Raising Money for Youth Mental Health Programs
✧ May 30th through June 8th from San Francisco to San Diego ✧
About This Event
Our 2025 Tour de NAMI will have two full-time riders going from San Francisco to San Diego: Cork Snider and Rick Burns. They are veterans of long-distance rides and veterans of helping organizations raise money through their efforts.
NAMI OC is partnering with the two riders to raise money and awareness for mental health programs in our local schools.
The 8-day adventure will raise money for youth and young adult mental health programs. These programs are already in place in many area high schools. For example, there are around 20 NAMI clubs in Orange County high schools.
