Buckit! Just Live Courageously is a 501c nonprofit organization formed in 2021. Our mission comes from the inspiration of Jennifer Lynn Crum who, despite her own battle with cancer, sought to comfort her fellow cancer warriors through donations for comfort care packages for patients undergoing chemotherapy. Witnessing the decline in her health, her loved ones realized the value in making the most of every minute we have to live our best life. In our efforts to fulfill Jennifer’s bucket list wishes, we found difficulty in finding help from an organization who caters to terminal patients over the age of 18. It was an obvious decision to create an organization who would fill this void.
WHAT DOES BUCKIT JLC DO?
MAKE MEMORIES
Throughout the year, we work towards our goal of turning dreams into memories. With the help of our donors, we have been able to grant over $15,000 in wishes to terminal cancer patients in 2024.
DONATION BAGS
Every March, our volunteers pack cancer care bags with ice packs, snacks, lotion and additional items to provide comfort to those receiving treatment. Bags are donated to local cancer centers.
TRIVIA NIGHT
In November, we host our annual trivia night in St. Charles. Proceeds for this event go towards granting wishes and funding items for cancer care donation bags.
