Why We Golf for JOY!

Max, once a wisher with the Nikolas Ritschel Foundation, was so inspired by Nik's Wish that he became a volunteer himself! Now, as he begins his career as an Oncology Nurse, Max is committed to paying it forward by supporting cancer warriors. Together with his sister, Madison, the Nik's Wish Florida Angel, he is determined to BRING JOY to others, just as his Hawaii Wish did for him.
