The date Nov. 19 holds a special significance to former NHL player Bernie Nicholls.
When Nicholls and his second wife, Jill, were approached by The Unforgettables Foundation about a charity event Sunday, the Las Vegas residents jumped at the opportunity to get involved.
Nicholls will host a meet and greet brunch at 10 a.m. Sunday at City National Arena to benefit The Unforgettables Foundation, which offers financial assistance to families that can’t afford a funeral for their child.
Sunday marks the 25th anniversary of the death of Nicholls’ infant son, Jack Jagger Nicholls, who died from spinal meningitis after almost a year of health problems.
