Charity Partner

Nikolas Ritchel Foundation

Did you know that Make-A-Wish ends support after 17 years of age? Nik's discovered the wish gap, and we aim to fill it by BRINGING JOY to young adults (ages 18-24) and their families fighting cancer. Nik's Wish is driven by a core team of passionate volunteers who generously give their time, talents, and what they can afford to help enable wishes to come true. This involves administration, hospital outreach, fundraising events, and working with the young adults and their families to deliver their wish. Because we are an all volunteer charity 97% of your donation  goes directly to a young adult's Nik's Wish. Visit our site and meet our wish kids!

Featuring REGAE MARGARITA WINE

Sweet and salty like an ocean breeze, Reggae Margarita gives you more time to hang your hammock and soak up paradise. Just twist open and serve over ice! Raise a glass and beat the steel drum, it's that good straight out of the bottle.
