Join the Cupid Crew
This Valentine’s Day, Wish of a Lifetime® from AARP’s Cupid Crew campaign is spreading love and joy to seniors across the nation, ensuring they feel connected and valued.
Our nationwide initiative mobilizes 25,000 volunteers of all ages to deliver roses and create cards. You can join the Cupid Crew by creating heartfelt cards and sharing them with your community!
Join us in sending love!
As we age, we often lose touch with loved ones and face barriers to social connection. Those feelings can intensify on Valentine’s Day. Cupid Crew helps break down those barriers.
Delivering a card may seem simple, but the effect is extraordinary. It spreads love and joy to seniors most in need, uplifts their communities, and inspires everyone it touches.
