Nicky’s Week: RA Sushi’s fundraiser for St. Jude Children Research Hospital
Tootsy Maki - RA Sushi's signature plate and guests' favorite, with crab mix, shrimp, and cucumber rolled and topped with crunchy tempura bits, and drizzled with sweet eel sauce
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatment not covered by insurance.
In the first week of June, from May 30 to June 5, all 25 locations of RA Sushi in Southern California, Arizona, East Texas, Florida, and five other states will host a fundraiser for St. Jude. Diners can choose any item on the Nicky’s Week Special menu, such as Shrimp Nigiri, Chicken Yakitori, the signature plates Tuna Tataki and Tootsy Maki. All sale profits from the Nicky’s Week menu will be donated to St. Jude.
If you’re in Houston or planning on driving by Houston, RA Sushi is opened for lunch 11a.m.-3p.m. daily, and dinner from 3p.m. to midnight at the Highland Village location, and 3p.m.-11p.m. at the CityCentre location. Last year RA Sushi in Highland Village alone raised nearly $10,000 during the week long event. This year RA Sushi in CityCentre will participate in the event for the first time.
On the Southern California front, there are six locations in San Diego, Tustin, Corona, Torrance, Chino Hills, and Huntington Beach.
The fundraiser started in 2005, in memory of the 13-year-old Nicholas “Nicky” Mailliard, shortly after his unsuccessful battle with brain cancer. Mr. Rich Howland, Nicky’s uncle and one of RA Sushi’s original founders, started the annual Nicky’s Week fundraising event to help fulfilling Nicky’s wish of finding a cure for cancer. Since 2005, the event has raised nearly $500,000 for St. Jude, and the goal this year is to add another $125,000 to that sum.
The cost of cancer treatment is on the order of $10,000 per year on the low end, and hundreds of thousands can be spent on each additional year of treatment.
So if you’re going to spend money on food and drinks during the first week of June, why not make your dollar more meaningful as well?

42I have to show my appreciation to the writer for bailing me out of such a incident. As a result of researching through the online world and getting proposals which are not beneficial, I thought my entire life was over. Living devoid of the strategies to the problems you have solved through your main guide is a crucial case, as well as those which might have negatively affected my entire career if I had not come across your web page. Your knowledge and kindness in controlling every aspect was vital. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I had not come across such a stuff like this. I can at this moment relish my future. Thanks a lot very much for the professional and amazing help. I won’t think twice to endorse your web site to any individual who wants and needs support on this problem.
