In 2005, at the young age of 13, Nicholas “Nicky” Malliard
lost his long battle with brain cancer. A nephew of one of RA Sushi’s founders,
for the past eight years during Memorial Day weekend RA Sushi has celebrated
and honored Nicky’s memory. This year the 8th Annual Nicky’s
Week stretches from Sunday May 27 to Saturday June 2. In honor of the
treatment Nicky received at St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital during his
battle with brain cancer, 100% of the proceeds from a variety of menu and drink
items will benefit St. Jude’s. This year’s special selections include edamame,
Tootsy Maki, shrimp nigiri, pork gyoza, chicken yakitori, garlic citrus
yellowtail tapas and a variety of beverages. Since RA first established Nicky’s
Week fundraiser in 2005, it has raised more than $943,000 for St. Jude’s, all
to ensure that no child is turned away from treatment due to the inability to
pay. Come out to RA Sushi this Memorial Day weekend and you can help surpass
the $1 million in donations!
