Nikolas Ritschel Foundation
Inspired by Nik in 2012, our 501(c)(3) charity provides precious moments of joy - "Nik Wishes" - for young adults ages 18-24 and their families fighting cancer. Inspired by Nikolas Ritschel’s journey with synovial sarcoma, our mission is to provide opportunities to enrich the lives, stimulate encouragement, and strengthen the faith of adolescent & young adult cancer patients and their loved ones.

KAMRYN’S WISH IS GRANTED 🌺✈️
Before cancer, Kamryn was always on the move — balancing full-time work, full-time graduate school, football games, concerts, travel, and making memories with the people she loves most. After a year of searching for answers, she was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma in August 2025.
Through chemotherapy, surgery, and the emotional weight that comes with a cancer diagnosis, Kamryn kept pushing forward. She continued working, stayed in school, and is still on track to graduate with her master’s degree in Special Education and Applied Behavior Analysis in 2026. 💪
But even the strongest fighters deserve a chance to breathe...and that is where Nik's Wish came in!
Kamryn chose Hawaii because she loves the outdoors, the water, nature, and adventure — but even more, she wanted a chance for her and her family to truly relax and enjoy time together after everything they’ve endured.
And now… that dream is becoming reality. 🌊☀️
Because of supporters like YOU, we get to deliver moments of joy, peace, and unforgettable memories to young adults fighting cancer.
Help us continue granting wishes just like Kamryn’s by signing up for upcoming events like Golf for JOY Illinois or visiting www.nikswish.org 💙
