This Month’s Featured Neighbor

Nave’s Neighbor of the Month: Ricky’s Fund Inc.

This month, we are honored to spotlight Ricky’s Fund Inc., a powerful local organization transforming grief into purpose by championing youth and mental health through the arts.

Founded in memory of Ricky Christiansen—a proud dance brother, uncle, and father who tragically passed in 2023 from a fentanyl-laced substance—Ricky’s Fund is committed to ending the stigma surrounding fentanyl-related overdoses and creating opportunities for young dancers to thrive. Their mission is rooted in raising awareness about the alarming rise of fentanyl-related deaths while empowering young people to make healthy, informed decisions.

Through scholarships, training, and financial support, Ricky’s Fund opens doors for aspiring dancers who show dedication, talent, and financial need. Dance offers more than movement—it provides purpose, discipline, and a path away from destructive behaviors. Ricky’s Fund ensures that kids have access to that lifeline.

At Nave Law, we believe in uplifting voices like Ricky’s Fund that are turning heartbreak into hope—and making a real impact in the lives of our youth. We invite you to learn more, get involved, and join us in celebrating the legacy and mission of Ricky’s Fund Inc.
