Description

12th Annual Nik's Home Run 7K Race 1.5 Mile Fun Walk & Grammy's Auction

The Nikolas Ritschel Foundation (Nik's Wish) is volunteer powered so nearly all of the proceeds from this event go directly towards fulfilling the wishes of young adults (ages 18-24) fighting cancer that have aged out of other wish granting organization. Nik's Wish was founded by the family of Nik Ritschel, who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 17 and died in 2012. The organization is driven by a core team of passionate volunteers who work tirelessly to make wishes come true for young adults who are facing some of the toughest challenges of their lives. Since 2012 we have delivered 320 wishes and currently have 25 wishers in waiting. Your support will help us to say YES to those wishes!  Thank you for your consideration.
