A 40th Anniversary Under the Northern Lights
After 40 years of marriage, this husband wants to take his wife to Alaska to experience the Northern Lights together and celebrate the life they have built.
Adults living with non-curable cancer are waiting for the opportunity to fulfill meaningful wishes with the people they love. The plans are possible. What stands between these families and their wishes is funding.
Help Fund a Wish See Current WishesThe average Buckit wish currently costs approximately $8,000–$10,000.
Buckit has historically granted approximately two wishes each year. In 2026, we have already completed four wish experiences, with additional applications waiting for the funding needed to move forward.
New applications are arriving regularly. With the right support, we can continue saying yes to adults and families who may not have the luxury of waiting.
Demand is growing faster than our current funding.
Every donation helps cover travel, lodging, transportation, experiences, meals, or another important part of a recipient’s wish.

Help provide an excursion, attraction, tour, celebration, meal, or once-in-a-lifetime activity.
Allow Buckit to direct your gift toward the wish or expense with the greatest immediate need.
Every wish is different. Destination, party size, accessibility, airfare, and lodging all affect the final cost.
Donated flights, hotel stays, vehicles, attraction tickets, meals, and other in-kind support can significantly reduce that cost and help us serve additional families.
A Buckit wish gives an adult living with non-curable cancer an opportunity to step away from appointments, treatments, and uncertainty—and experience something meaningful with the people they love.
For some, that means seeing a destination they have dreamed about for decades. For others, it is an adventure, celebration, reunion, or meaningful experience closer to home.
We help people live courageously and make the days count when time matters most.
Companies, foundations, travel providers, attractions, restaurants, and community organizations can make a direct and immediate impact.
Applications are arriving faster than our current funding can support. Your donation can help move another wish forward when time matters most.
