Mission
- Purpose: Bring JOY to young adults, and their families, fighting cancer.
- Age Gap: Most pediatric support programs age out at 18 and adult programs start at 25, leaving a gap for young adults.
- Goal: Our mission is to bridge that gap and deliver joy to young adults aged 18-24 battling cancer!
- Impact: Nik's Home Run is our biggest fundraiser of the year and makes granting more wishes possible.
