Chopsticks for Nicky

Nicky's Week at RA Sushi commemorates the loss of 13 year old Nicholas, nephew of one of the restaurant's founders, to brain cancer. As such, every restaurant in the Scottsdale, Arizona-based, 22 location, nationwide chain participates in a week of charity fund raising, and our South Miami outpost will do the same. All restaurant proceeds from select menu items will benefit St. Jude Children's Hospital, a highly regarded pediatric treatment and research facility. Ra has donated over $400,000 since 2005 and hopes to raise $110,000 this year. Nicky's Week runs from May 24th - 30th. Here are the events that will be taking place.
