Nerds for NAMI 3

Now in its third year, Nerds for NAMI is an annual 24 hour video game and variety show livestream to raise money for the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Special thanks to all of you who supported us these last couple years, whether you donated to NAMI or offered words of encouragement at 3am. This time around, we will be hosting a live variety show at The Crowd Theater in Chicago, IL featuring improv, sketch comedy, and more! Before this, we will once again have a 24 hour livestream of video games and other shenanigans.

Nerds for NAMI 3 will begin on Saturday, April 27 at 9pm cdt and conclude at 9pm the next day. The variety show portion, which you are more than welcome to attend in person or over livestream, will be from 7-9pm on Sunday, April 28 at The Crowd Theater. We invite you to watch us joke around, play games, eat weird food, read fan fiction, and engage in various other shenanigans as we try to stay awake. And it's all for a good cause, too! All proceeds from the event will go to support NAMI Mercer in memory of Kathie Formoso. NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness.  Watch, laugh, support NAMI, and have a great time with us! 

More information the National Alliance on Mental Illness: We provide education and support for individuals and families affected by mental illness, and advocate for lives of quality and respect, without stigma or discrimination.
