Ra Sushi holds annual Nicky’s Week to raise money for kids’ cancer research

Now in its 11th year, the fundraiser is held in honor of Nicky Mailliard, a 13-year-old Scottsdale boy who died of brain cancer in 2005. He was a nephew of one of Ra’s founders.

Through Sunday, all 26 Ra locations nationwide – including those in Mesa, Tempe, and Ahwatukee – will donate 100 percent of sales from a variety of food and beverage items to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Phoenix.

The special Nicky’s Week menu includes: Edamame, Tootsy Maki, Shrimp Nigiri, Pork Gyoza, Sesame Garlic Chicken, and Garlic Citrus Yellowtail, plus a selection of beverages.
