Nikolas Ritschel Foundation Nik discovered that Make-A-Wish ages out at 18. Nik found a gap in support, we aim to fill it

Inspired by Nik in 2012, our 501(c)(3) charity provides precious moments of joy - "Nik Wishes" - for young adults ages 18-24 and their families fighting cancer. Inspired by Nikolas Ritschel’s journey with synovial sarcoma, our mission is to provide opportunities to enrich the lives, stimulate encouragement, and strengthen the faith of adolescent & young adult cancer patients and their loved ones. Nik’s journey taught us much about the power of Faith, Fun, Integrity, and Sharing. From him we witnessed the incredible impact one person can make – you just need to “Take One Step”. We strive to share those happy experiences with others who are similarly situated.

We had an AMAZING fundraising campaign this year at Nik's Home Run! Although the Top Fundraiser has been crowned, we are still pushing towards our goal of $10,000 to help grant a wish!!

Please continue to share your fundraiser with friends and family who might be interested in donating. We are $2,000 away from granting a cancer patient and their family a wish that truly changes lives.
