Nicky’s Week: RA Sushi’s fundraiser for St. Jude Children Research Hospital

May 18, 2010 By: Mai Truong Category: California - The Bay Area, Houston, Japanese, Texas

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?

  5. Hi there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?

  6. Whats up this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

  30. I want to express some appreciation to this writer for bailing me out of this problem. Because of searching through the the net and meeting thoughts which are not helpful, I assumed my entire life was done. Being alive devoid of the solutions to the problems you’ve sorted out as a result of the write-up is a serious case, as well as the kind which could have negatively damaged my entire career if I had not noticed the website. Your training and kindness in playing with a lot of things was crucial. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I had not come across such a subject like this. It’s possible to at this moment look forward to my future. Thanks a lot so much for the reliable and amazing help. I won’t hesitate to propose your blog to any person who needs and wants recommendations about this problem.

It is now and again perplexing to just possibly be giving away guides which usually other folks could have been trying to sell. And now we do understand we have got the blog owner to give thanks to because of that. The type of explanations you made, the easy blog navigation, the relationships you will make it possible to create – it is many amazing, and it’s leading our son and our family reason why this matter is pleasurable, which is certainly really fundamental. Thanks for all the pieces!
