Helping adults facing non-curable cancer
experience their bucket-list dreams
About Buckit!JLC
Buckit! Just Live Courageously is dedicated to granting bucket list experiences for adults with non-curable cancer.
Our mission is simple: to create opportunities for people to stop being patients for a little while and simply live in the moment.
Every experience is unique. For some, that means traveling somewhere they've always dreamed of visiting. For others, it means spending meaningful time with family, celebrating a milestone, or checking one more item off a lifelong bucket list.
Whatever the dream may be, our goal is the same—to help turn dreams into memories.
Because when time matters most, every memory becomes more meaningful.

Our Story
Buckit! Just Live Courageously is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2021 and inspired by the life of Jennifer Lynn Crum. Even while facing her own battle with cancer, Jennifer was driven to comfort and support fellow cancer warriors — including helping provide comfort care packages for patients undergoing chemotherapy.
As Jennifer's health declined, her loved ones were reminded just how precious time is and how important it is to make the most of every moment. While trying to fulfill Jennifer's own bucket-list wishes, they discovered there were few organizations focused on helping terminal patients over the age of 18.
Buckit!JLC was created to fill that void — helping adults facing non-curable cancer experience meaningful wishes and create lasting memories, when time matters most.

REAL WISHES, REAL PEOPLE
Every Detail Has Meaning
Every color and shape carries the people who made Buckit! Just Live Courageously possible.
Jennifer Lynn Crum — whose fight inspired Buckit!JLC — loved elephants. Gentle yet strong, they're known for their deep bonds and for never forgetting the ones they love.
Purple was Jennifer's favorite color. It runs through everything we do — a daily reminder of the spirit at the heart of our mission.
A symbol of hope and transformation, in loving memory of Brittany Dubis — a cherished member of the family that created Buckit!JLC — who lost her brave fight with leukemia.
