Exciting news!

Team Nikhil has been recognized as a 2025 Pepsico Community Impact Award recipeint!

We’re honored to share that Team Nikhil has been selected as one of the Top 100 nonprofits in North America to receive a 2025 PepsiCo Foundation Community Impact Award!

Thanks to this generous $10,000 USD grant, we’ll continue advancing our mission to improve the lives of children with multiple disabilities and complex medical needs.

This recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects the voices of PepsiCo employees, who nominated organizations making a real difference in their communities. We’re proud to stand alongside other changemakers working to create local, leading, and lasting impact.
Thank you to the PepsiCo Foundation for believing in grassroots leadership and investing in community-driven solutions. We are excited to continue delivering our mission.  

We can keep you posted about what we are up to!

About Us

We are launched Team Nikhil in memory of our son, Nikhil, who lost his battle to a rare disease called Microcephaly-Capillary Malformation Syndrome. This resulted in a severe form of epilepsy known as Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome. Nikhil also had cognitive disability, was non-verbal, and was wheelchair dependent. When Nikhil died in 2021 at the age of 12, our whole world shattered. Reflecting on our journey made us realize that Nikhil taught us strength and resilience - inspiring us to help other children like him. Because it took a "team" for Nikhil to thrive, we named our organization Team Nikhil. 


Nikhil's journey is beautifully captured in this video created by the Child Life Department at Hassenfeld Children's Hospital at NYU Langone:
