Team Incentive Level

Incentive level: Preferred Parking at the Step Up Walk

Welcome to the Niko’s Knights Page!

Our son Niko was born on Superbowl Sunday in 2023. He had some struggles in the beginning with being diagnosed with Hirschsprung’s disease but braved surgery and is doing so well. He loves playing and observing others and things around him. This walk is so important to us to celebrate our Niko, his accomplishments, and the angel of a boy that he is.
