This right here is exactly what Nicholas & Friends is all about, and what defines why we do what we do. Thank you Dakota for reminding us of that every day!!

On August 21st, Nicholas & Friends hosted the 1st Annual, McDonough Rock Festival. Among all of those in attendance, THIS was the highlight of our night!!

This 11 yr old girl, Dakota, has been diagnosed with a Bithalamic Pilocytic Astrocytoma leaving her with an inoperable brain tumor. She is such an amazing little girl & her favorite band is DEPARTURE: The Journey Tribute Band! These guys are so awesome, and we are proud to call them friends! What an experience it was for all!!

Her parents messaged us the following morning to tell us thank you and that she cried and said this was the best night of her life! THIS is what it’s all about! The more Nicholas & Friends Foundation grows the more stuff like this we will be able to do! Thank you for all the support!

And We’re Off!!…

We are very excited to have been able to make a big purchase for a few of our local schools!

Thanks to our sponsors of McDonough Rock Festival & our Partners , Moye’s Pharmacy & Mobility Warehouse we are able to provide many self contained classes with hand sanitizers, body wipes & Cleaning wipes. These items are so important for the health of these special kids & their teachers.

This is what almost $2,000 of supplies looks like. It is a lot, but it won’t go too far. That’s why we need continuous support from our community. The more we can help the better.
This is only the beginning for Nicholas & Friends Foundation.

Every dontation counts both small and large. Please visit out Get Involved page to learn how you can contribute.
