Make dreams come true for seniors.

Giving Tuesday is over, Kala, but your opportunity to make a wish come true is not.

The match deadline has been extended: AARP is MATCHING all gifts made to Wish of a Lifetime, an AARP charitable affiliate, dollar for dollar, up to $75,000 to fulfill the wishes of older adults facing tough times.

Can we count on your tax-deductible support today?

MULTIPLY MY IMPACT

Wish of a Lifetime has granted more than 3,000 wishes to older adults, helping them regain confidence, energy and joy. These experiences have fostered meaningful connections and created lasting generational change within families and communities.

Here's just one example: After facing severe health challenges, Vince found himself reflecting on his childhood dream of being a bat boy at a baseball game. Wish of a Lifetime made that dream a reality when Vince, at the age of 72, got the opportunity to become a major league bat boy for his beloved Washington Nationals.

For Vince, and the thousands of other older adults who've had their wishes granted, the experience isn't about the wish itself, as Vince says, it's about "a renewal, a hope, a promise of better days to come."

This is the kind of impact your generous donation can make — reconnecting older adults to lifelong passions, the people they love and the places they left behind.
