Description

Thank you for taking the time to learn about our organization and for supporting our cause. In 2019, we founded our non profit organization to aid those struggling with cancer in honor of our late best friend, Nina Mastro. Nina was a longtime resident of Bridgeport here in Chicago, and remained an integral part of the neighborhood until she passed away from pancreatic cancer at the young age of 29 years old.
Since 2019, we have hosted numerous events to raise funds for our cause. Each year, we choose a recipient to receive our donation to use in their battle against cancer. So far, we have donated over $30,000 to individuals to aid in their journey against this horrible disease.

On July 22 2023, we are hosting our annual block party fundraiser this summer bringing together all of our families, friends, and communities to support NMO. We are looking for sponsorships from businesses to help fund our upcoming event so that we can continue to give back to our community year after year. We also opened up raffle prize/basket donations this year. This raffle item will be displayed at our event as part of our donated raffle prizes.
