Our event will raise funds for pediatric cancer patients and their families. We are working towards our dream project of building individual housing units in Philadelphia, near CHOP. NixCancer Foundation has partnered with Bryn Mawr Racing Company to bring you an event that will honor the life of Nicholas Mincarelli while supporting families fighting cancer. This year we will have a special honored hero. Her name is Rosie, she is three years old, and has been battling AT/RT since July 2019. A portion of the event will go directly to Rosie and his mom.
