The Stomp Out Stigma Walk will take place on Saturday, May 16th from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the GVSU Downtown Pew Campus, Seward Parking Lot, located at 520 Lake Michigan Dr NW in Grand Rapids, MI. This free event invites participants to be part of something bigger by stepping up for mental health awareness and helping break the silence surrounding mental illness.
The walk supports the life-changing work of the Mental Health Foundation and its be nice. program, empowering individuals to recognize and take action when it comes to mental health. Participants are encouraged to fundraise to help reduce stigma and save lives, and those who raise $100 or more will receive the official 2026 Stomp Out Stigma Walk T-shirt. Together, this event aims to inspire change and create a community where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported!
