  February 2009
  Bench Press Challenge
  Sacramento Police Lt. Cara Westin and Mark Bell, owner of Super Training Gym, co-sponsored a Bench Press Challenge for safety personnel in memory of Mark's brother, Mike Bell, who died from complications related to a brain disorder. NAMI Sacramento was the sole beneficiary of the funds raised by the competition, and we were thrilled to receive a check for $1856.00! NAMI Sacramento is extremely grateful to Cara and Mark for thinking of us and allowing us to be a part of this special memorial event.
