Night Out With NAMI 2026:
Aurora Nights
On Saturday, December 12, 2026, we will gather at The Boathouse at Mercer Lake for Aurora Nights. Our annual gala, Night Out With NAMI, is an opportunity to bring together our members, volunteers and friends to celebrate who we are as a community and honor those in our midst who are extraordinary mental health advocates. We hope you will join us for an unforgettable evening inspired by the breathtaking magic of the Northern Lights. It promises to be an evening aglow with fine dining, good music, great friends, and a shared mission that shines brighter than the stars.
This year, we will be recognizing the Rev. Dr. Jeffrey A. Vamos from The Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville, with NAMI Mercer’s prestigious Visionary Award. We will also honor Jeremy Mann with our coveted Pillar Award.
