Nicky O Afterschool

Nicky O'Neill was the youngest victim of The Station nightclub fire. Nicky was only 18 years old. He is the son of Dave Kane, a founding Board member of the Greater Attleboro Area Council for Children. Nicky O Afterschool was created to honor the creative spirit and compassion of Nicky by providing free, enriching opportunities for local children—advancing our mission to uplift and support youth through access, inclusion, and community-centered care. Launched in partnership with Plainville Public Schools in spring 2025, the program’s pilot was a tremendous success. This year, we are on track to serve three times as many Plainville youth as we did in our inaugural season, thanks to the generous support of Sensata Technologies Foundation. Our fall 2025 end-of-season celebration was enthusiastically received by both parents and children, and we are currently recruiting for our first upcoming winter session.
