The conversation was the usual \u2013 business, sports, politics. One of the men mentioned they heard about the plight of a family who had traveled across country looking for a cure for their son stricken with leukemia. They were on their way to Mexico where they had heard a new treatment existed that might help their son.<\/p><p>Having run out of money,<em><strong> the family was in desperate need of living expenses. <\/strong><\/em>Moved by the family\u2019s situation, the businessmen reached into their pockets and came up with enough cash.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>The men decided to help this family!<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p>The <strong>Nice Guys<\/strong> organization began that day, and has been quietly serving the good citizens of San Diego ever since. The main focus has always been to assist families and individuals who cannot meet life\u2019s demands. For more than 40 years, the <strong>Nice Guys<\/strong> have continued to make a difference in peoples lives by offering a hand up.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: right;\">&#8230;&#8230;..Tragically, the treatment failed (the boy died), but that was the beginning of the Nice Guys.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>The <strong>Nice Guys<\/strong>, now with a membership of around 175 men and women, is strictly a non-profit, charitable organization with no paid staff.<\/p><p>When it comes to serving the community and taking social responsibility, the <strong>Nice Guys<\/strong> have gone quietly about their work. It\u2019s only recently that some San Diegans have even heard of the <strong>Nice Guys<\/strong>. Only rare mention was ever made of this organization in the media. But now, with increased need, the <strong>Nice Guys<\/strong> have become more visible in an effort to raise more money to come to the\u00a0 aid people within the San Diego community.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Family is the main focus of the Nice Guys.
