Veterans and guardians are selected using the guidelines and standards of similar organizations.
It varies based on program funding and the range in cost of each specific trip.
We make every effort to attempt to fulfil the dreams of our heroes based on whatever their top "bucket list" item may be. This could include a specific destination (e.g. visiting the Great Pyramid), or adventerous activity (e.g. going skydiving), or some combination of the two (e.g. taking a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon).
Bucket List Trips can also come in more creative or personal forms such as spending a few hours with a favorite celebrity, enjoying a world class meal at an incredible restaurant, or attending a special performance.
Please contact us to submit a nomination.
In order to serve as many heroes as possible through this program, trips are awarded to the veteran only or when appropriate, to the veteran and an accompanying spouse.
Trips are typically provided for the hero only, and when appropriate their spouse. However, special exceptions are considered when the nature of the "bucket list" item specifically involves a family style vacation.
