Our community that is Las Vegas is filled with caring and compassionate people and business owners. Below is a story that will bring tears to your eyes and hopefully bring you out for a great cause!
RA Sushi Bar Restaurant located at the Fashion Show Mall will be hosting its 5th Annual Nicky’s Week Fundraiser May 24-30. Nicky’s Week is a week long event that raises money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. RA Sushi has chosen this charity to work with because one of the owners of RA had a young nephew who had suffered from brain cancer and St. Jude assisted the family during his treatments. Unfortunately young Nicky passed away in February 2005 but the fundraiser was named in his honor to further promote the exceptional attention and support provided at no cost to families and children receiving care at St. Jude. During Nicky’s Week, RA Sushi will donate 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale of various food and beverage items to St. Jude.
The items are: Edamame, Tootsy Maki sushi roll, Shrimp Shumai, FIJI, Red Bull, The Republic of Tea and other select beverages. All 22 RA Sushi locations around the country are raising money during Nicky’s Week and the company plans on raising more than $110,000 to the charity this year. In the past, RA Sushi has raised nearly $400,000 for St. Jude since the beginning of Nicky’s Week in 2005. RA Sushi is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. or later.
In these times of hardship every little bit that we can do to help other people is such a big opening of your heart and will certainly be appreciated! So go have some great sushi knowing that you are paying if forward!
