Juniper Village The Spearly Center was excited to participate in the 2017 NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Walk Colorado on May 20th. Team Spearly was 58 human and 4 canine walkers strong this year and was comprised of residents, staff, family members and friends. We surpassed our fundraising goal of $1000 and raised $1350. This year, NAMI Walk Colorado raised over $125,000.
