A couple with the dream of visiting every state capital finally crossed the last state thanks to a local Chick-fil-A.
Bill and Becky Chilcutt spent the past two decades traveling to every state capital in the country — and were left on their bucket list when Bill Chilcutt’s terminal cancer put a stop to the planned trip.
The couple, who are frequent visitors to a Chick-fil-A location in Houston, Texas, were feeling overwhelmed when the unthinkable happened.
Employees at the Chick-fil-A market in Springwoods Village contacted the Alaska State Capitol — the last stop on the Chilcutts’ bucket list — to see if there was a way for the Chilcutts to visit the capitol without physically being there.
Chick-fil-A detailed the Alaska State Capitol’s efforts in a press release.
An employee photographed the Chilcutts’ wedding around the building in Juneau, Alaska — even signing their names on the visitor’s register.
The couple were then presented with the gift while at their local fast food restaurant.
Alaska State Capitol employees sent the Chilcutts photos, a notebook and gifts while the Chick-fil-A team presented them with a custom drawing of the couple in front of Juneau’s Mendenhall Glacier.
Chick-fil-A owner and operator Mike Magdaleno told Fox News Digital that the couple, who have been married for more than 50 years, mean a lot to their team.
“Over the years, Bill & Becky have become an integral part of our Chick-fil-A community,” he said.
“From the weekly morning bingo to celebrating family milestones at the restaurant, we’ve loved being a part of their lives and learning more about their adventures.”
He added, “When our team learned they only had one last state capital on their bucket list, we wanted to do everything we could to help them reach their goal. We are so happy to be able to bring a little piece of Alaska to Texas for them.”
The pair have participated in Chick-fil-A’s breakfast bingo for years and even won free Chick-fil-A for a year in 2017.
At the fast-food joint, the couple typically forgoes the original chicken sandwich and orders a corn salad, chicken noodle soup and a berry parfait, according to a Chick-fil-A press release.
The Chilcutts have five children, 17 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.
Fox News Digital reached out to Chilcutts for further comment.
