New Year Appeal

Dear NAMI Supporter: January 9, 2011

On behalf of the NAMI Pennsylvania Board and our many members and friends, I would like to thank you for your support in 2011. Your support in the past has made it possible for NAMI PA to continue its programs and to offer assistance, education and support to persons in need.

It is not too late to help in our efforts for a strong New Year. Please consider making an initial donation to support NAMI PA and its programs. Your contribution will assist us in continuing to provide these important services and other related activities to you and to all those affected by mental illness.

We were faced by many difficulties in 2011. It is very clear that there is a growing need for support to families and consumers. The New Year will present a continuing increase in the demand for services and support.

NAMI PA, Pennsylvania’s Voice on Mental Illness, is a state-wide 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization created in 1984 by a group of concerned citizens at the grassroots level. Please take a few moments to follow the link below and donate now.

Thank you in advance for your support. We wish you and your loved ones a wonderful New Year.

Sincerely,

James W. Jordan Jr.

Executive Director
