I want to start a foundation loosely based on the movie "the bucket list". Would you support this or do you think it's nuts?

I saw the movie and afterwards thought of this. I know there is the make a wish for sick kids, so why not make one for people who have lived long useful lives, and never been able to afford to do one of their dreams? I think older people don’t get near the respect they deserve, and often can’t afford food, let alone a trip to the Nile, or the great pyramid, or whatever. How would this go over in the world do you think? Should I call up Bill Gates across the state and run it by him?
