One Day To Remember serves individuals diagnosed with advanced-stage cancer of any type. This includes both solid tumor and blood cancers when they have reached an advanced stage.

If you’re unsure whether your diagnosis qualifies, we encourage you to submit an application or contact us. Every application is reviewed individually, and we’re happy to answer any questions about eligibility.

Yes. You are still welcome to apply if your cancer is currently stable or no evidence of disease. You do not have to be actively receiving treatment or experiencing disease progression to be eligible.

As long as you have been diagnosed with advanced-stage cancer, meet our eligibility requirements, and receive medical clearance from your oncologist, we encourage you to apply.

If you don’t meet our current eligibility guidelines, we encourage you to reach out anyway. While we may not be able to provide a One Day To Remember, we may be able to connect you with other organizations or resources that can help.

No. You do not have to be actively receiving treatment to qualify. We welcome applications from families in many different parts of their cancer journey.

Once you submit your completed application, you can typically expect to hear from a member of the One Day To Remember team within 48 to 72 hours. During that time, we’ll review your application, discuss the next steps, and answer any questions you may have.

Once you’re approved, you’ll be paired with a member of our team who will work closely with you to learn about your family, your interests, and your wish list. From there, we’ll handle the planning so you can focus on spending quality time together.
