Nicsa Gives Back 2025

A Proud Partnership

Expect Miracles Foundation (EMF) was honored to be the philanthropic beneficiary of Nicsa’s 2025 Strategic Leadership Forum held in Fort Lauderdale, FL. During the Nicsa Gives Back Dinner on March 6, Jim Fitzpatrick, CEO & President of Nicsa, presented a check for $20,000 to EMF’s Executive Director, Frank Heavey, to support EMF’s SAMFund grant program, which provides crucial financial assistance to young adult cancer survivors.

The opportunity to work with charitable organizations like Expect Miracles Foundation is an honor. We are thrilled to both enhance the experience of our attendees as well as raise funds for EMF’s important work. Professionals within the asset and wealth management industry that would like to support EMF’s life-changing mission can now do so through Nicsa’s signature event in Florida.
