Special Projects
Never forgotten.
Never forgotten.
Every August (the month of Miranda’s original diagnosis), with the continued generosity of supporters, NICK and Miranda’s mom Rebecca, this annual project provides fully stocked goody bags for families coming to the oncology floors for the first time, not knowing what to expect.

Adler’s Birthday Celebration
Every January, together with Adler’s family and Tyler’s Tender Railroad Restaurant in Schererville, Indiana, we celebrate Adler’s birthday and his love for trains. On this amazing day, you can view Adler’s train collection, enjoy a piece of birthday cake, bid on fabulous auction items, have your face painted, and enjoy the Tyler’s Tender experience. Proceeds from the day benefit Brain Cancer Research at Riley’s Children’s Hospital where Adler was treated.
Courtney Warner Memorial Bike Ride
Courtney loved her dogs, her family and riding her bike. We hope you will join us on a bike ride every June in memory of Courtney. The ride will benefit NICK and DIPG brain tumor research.
Bedside Shopping Christmas Giving
Christmas shopping isn’t easy or affordable when your child is fighting cancer. Please help ease a family’s holiday stress by donating to our Annual Bedside Shopping Christmas Giving. Each family in treatment receives an Amazon gift card(s) totaling $100 per immediate family member. Any amount donated is appreciated. 55 families in treatment will receive gifts this year.
Curefest for Childhood Cancer
Each September, NICK sponsors local families who have traveled the journey of childhood cancer to march in Washington DC. We become one voice to inspire legislators to make childhood cancer a national priority. Participants are families that continue to support NICK and it’s many missions.
