Eden Prairie, Minn. – September 25, 2025 – Zinpro Corporation, the world’s leading innovator and manufacturer of high-performance organic trace minerals and animal nutrition solutions, will once again serve as presenting sponsor for the 19th annual NAMIWalks Minnesota. The 5K walk, which raises awareness for mental health, will take place on Saturday, September 27 at Minnehaha Regional Park in Minneapolis.

This marks the fifth consecutive year that Zinpro serves as presenting sponsor, reinforcing the company’s long-standing commitment to mental health advocacy.
