The Mission of the Nicole Ellis Foundation is to keep Nicole’s spirit and passion alive in our memories by doing what she loved to do best… help others. The Foundation does this through contributions to The MU Ethnic Alumni Association and select non-for-profit organizations such as The Community Liver Alliance (CLA), Variety, the Children’s Charity of Wisconsin, The March of Dimes, Make-A-Wish Foundation, and the Salvation Army Toys-for-Tots.
