NIKOLAS RITSCHEL FOUNDATION

1915 Stratford Lane, Rockford, Illinois 61107

OUR MISSION

Nik was diagnosed with cancer just before his 18th birthday and was granted a wish from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This wish meant the world to him. It gave him hope and happiness in a time of struggle and pain. When Nik discovered that kids over 17 do not qualify, he wanted to help. The night before cancer took his life in 2012, he asked to help them have a wish too.
