Please help us congratulate July’s Community Members of the Month, Nikki and Robert! When Nikki was five years old, she scraped her knee, and her worried dad rushed her to the emergency room. While there, they met a young cancer warrior, and it changed their world. He reached out to a friend to see how he could help the fight, and she directed him to NNCCF. Since then, Nikki and Robert have hosted the annual “Heroes & Hooligans” golf tournament and volunteered their time at many other NNCCF events. Read our interview with Nikki here:

How did you first get connected with NNCCF?

“My father took me to an emergency room when I had scraped my knee. :0) I was 5 years old, and after seeing a child there with cancer, his perspective on “real emergencies” changed. He asked our friend Barbra Pinocchio how we could help. She told us NNCCF.”

What is your NNCCF “why”?  What makes you want to continue supporting NNCCF?

“Children are innocent. They deserve a fair chance at life. If we can help NNCCF give them that chance, that is what we will do.”

What is one thing you’ve done for NNCCF that you’re proud of?

“Our annual Heroes and Hooligans Golf Tournament.”

If you could meet anyone, past or present, who would you meet and why?

“My dad’s parents. My grandmother and grandfather on my dad’s side. They went to heaven before I was born.”
