Dutch Bros Buck For Kids Day is Friday, September 15!
How will my support make a difference?Â
$1 of every drink purchased at participating locations will go to Make-A-Wish Arizona in support of our mission to help grant wishes for Arizona children facing critical illnesses.
Who is eligible for a wish?Â
A child who has a critical illness, who has reached the age of 2½ and is under the age of 18 at the time of referral, is potentially eligible for a wish. More than 550 children are currently in the wish planning process, so every drink purchased will help us get closer to granting the wish of every eligible child.
How many wishes does Make-A-Wish Arizona grant for kids locally?Â
Make-A-Wish Arizona is the founding chapter of the global wish-granting organization. It started here in Arizona when a boy named Chris wished to be a motorcycle officer. Since then, we have granted more than 7,500 wishes in our state including a record-breaking 424 wishes for Arizona kids this year.
Does a child's condition have to be terminal to receive a wish?
No. This is a common misconception about Make-A-Wish that is false. The majority of the children who qualify for a wish go on to lead healthy lives.
What are the most requested wishes?
Many of the wishes granted to children with critical illnesses are for experiences such as getting a puppy, seeing snow for the first time, meeting a favorite celebrity, being a cowgirl or getting a new backyard. Nearly 77% of wish experiences involve travel and The Walt Disney Company is involved in approximately half of the wishes Make-A-Wish grants.
