The contest is part of the Fifth Annual Nicky's Week fundraiser, a week-long fundraising effort to benefit children's cancer treatment and research. Nicky's Week was created in honor of Nicholas "Nicky" Mailliard, a nephew of one of RA Sushi's founders who lost a battle with brain cancer in 2005 at age 13.
