Sponsor the Shamrock 5K Beer Run &
Grant Wishes to Young Adults Fighting Cancer!

By sponsoring the Shamrock 5K Beer Run, you’re helping us fill the gap for young adults fighting cancer. These warriors, aged 18-24, often fall through the cracks between pediatric and adult cancer care programs.

Nik's Wish is here to change that!

Your sponsorship will directly fund life-changing wishes for young adults battling cancer, offering them hope, joy, and cherished memories during their fight. Together, we can ensure they know they are never alone.

Help us tell a cancer warrior, "YOUR WISH IS GRANTED!"
