Birdies For Charity: NAMI Farmington Valley

Today we spoke with Lynne Benjamin from NAMI Farmington Valley about mental health awareness.

Founded in 1984, NAMI Connecticut (National Alliance on Mental Illness) is a nonprofit, grassroots organization dedicated to improving the lives of all people in Connecticut affected by mental illness. For over 38 years, in collaboration with our nine local affiliates, we work to change public attitudes about mental illness and offer support, education and advocacy programs at the state and local levels.

In 2004, The Travelers Championship launched the Birdies for Charity program, adopting a national model that has seen great success in other markets. Today, the Birdies for Charity program continues to develop and thrive and has become an easy and effective fundraising opportunity for every 501(c)(3) organization. Birdies for Charity is a giving platform that utilizes the excitement around the Travelers Championship to help nonprofits across the region raise awareness and funds to support their missions. Thanks to the support of Webster Bank, organizations have the opportunity to receive a 15% bonus on every donation through the program.
