Nikolas Ritschel Foundation

The Nikolas Ritschel Foundation is a 501(c)(3) Charity that provides enrichment opportunities for young adults fighting cancer who are between 18-24 years of age. Inspired by Nikolas Ritschel’s journey with synovial sarcoma, NRF delivers wishes to enrich the lives, stimulate encouragement, and provide hope to cancer patients and their loved ones.

Nik's Wish, inspired by the courageous journey of Nikolas Ritschel, aims to bring joy to young adults aged 18-24 facing cancer and their loved ones. Founded by Nik's mother, Kelli, after his passing in 2012, the organization addresses the gap for those who have aged out of other wish-granting programs. By collaborating with volunteers, local businesses, and donors, Nik's Wish focuses on delivering transformative moments and respite to young adult cancer warriors. The foundation emphasizes the importance of joy in the face of adversity and invites individuals to contribute their time, talent, or financial resources to sustain and expand its mission.
