Team Nicholas

This year the proceeds from the race will benefit Team Nicholas! This wonderful organization brings comfort, joy and smiles to children battling cancer and critical illness.

Every year, during the holiday season, we collect new Lego and block sets to donate to local children's hospitals. This was one of Nicholas' favorite toys and they run out of them quickly. Our goal every year is to be able to donate at least 150 to each of the 6 hospitals. As of March 2023 we had donated 11,500 new sets! This spring, we will also have an extra big donation from great company collecting for us!

The above is an additional way to help with the donation of Lego/block sets....and we will remind you leading up to the race so you won't forget!
