Nicky’s Week was developed in memory of longtime St. Jude patient Nicholas “Nicky” Mailliard, of Scottsdale, Ariz., who lost a long battle with brain cancer in February 2005 at the young age of 13. A nephew of one of RA Sushi’s founders, Nicky held a special place in the hearts of RA Sushi associates throughout the organization. RA Sushi initiated the fundraiser to honor the memory of Nicky and to raise awareness and funds for St. Jude, where no child is ever turned away because of a family’s inability to pay for medical treatments.
“St. Jude is an incredible organization with an important mission, and we want to help ensure that its services remain available to children and families battling serious illness,” said Scott Kilpatrick, co-founder and vice president of RA Sushi. “Nicky’s Week has raised nearly $500,000 for the hospital since 2005, and our goal is to increase that number by $125,000 this year.”
There is even a Nicky's Week Tweetup on Wednesday, June 2, 2010 from 6:00pm - 9:00pm. If you attend the TWEETUP and order TWO Nicky's Week items, you'll receive a complimentary Penny Drink Card!!
