Time is running out — our $600,000 Matching Gift Challenge needs your support.

Dear Friend, The fight to end Alzheimer's must continue, and this is a crucial opportunity to show your support. That's because this $600,000 Matching Gift Challenge is one of our biggest and most important matches of the year. It really is the perfect time to demonstrate your commitment to helping to provide care and support to those impacted by Alzheimer's and advancing research. You've taken such a strong interest in our work. I feel Alzheimer's has likely touched your life in some way. We need more people like you who understand the devastating effects of this disease and know the urgency of this fight to join our community of supporters. It's not only a chance to donate and support work that's so important to you — it's also a chance to help raise critical funds that are urgently needed, while your impact can be matched. An end to Alzheimer's is something we can't achieve soon enough. That's because Alzheimer's is a national public health crisis. Millions of Americans are losing their loved ones to this heartbreaking disease. New and better treatments are urgently needed, and we are seeing progress in an increasingly robust treatment pipeline. Please seize this opportunity by making your first gift as our newest supporter today. Every contribution matters and will impact the lives of over 6 million Americans currently living with this devastating disease and the more than 11 million people providing their care. Give today and your gift can go TWICE as far. Dick and Marianne Kipper — two of our most generous, longstanding supporters — have pledged to match every dollar we receive, up to $600,000, between now and September 30. However, we can't achieve this challenge unless we raise the same amount by the deadline — and time is running out. The Kippers have kindly offered to put their gift toward advancing vital Alzheimer's research. Your donation can be matched 2X and make a difference by helping provide care and support while accelerating research. Let me tell you why that's exciting, friend. Recent advancements in Alzheimer's research offer so much hope. While they're not cures — and they're not for everyone — Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments are available that slow the progression of the disease for people living with early Alzheimer's. Early detection is crucial to accessing these potentially life-changing treatments. Sadly, many individuals and family members don't recognize the warning signs of Alzheimer's until it's too late. Because of that, more people continue to watch loved ones and friends transition from early Alzheimer's to a more advanced stage, where they can no longer benefit from these treatments. It's heartbreaking, and we can't allow it to continue. We won't rest until everyone living with Alzheimer's — at any stage — can get the treatment, care and support they need and deserve. Friend, you've shown how important our work is to you. Today, I'm asking you to take the next step in your commitment. By making your first gift today — while it can be matched to go 2X as far — you can help provide the resources people need to better understand the disease, cope with its challenges and make informed decisions about the treatment plan that's right for them. You'll help the Alzheimer's Association advocate for state and federal policies that prioritize addressing this national public health crisis and break down barriers of access to life-changing care. You'll also double your impact on our mission to lead the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia — by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support. This special $600,000 Matching Gift Challenge is an extraordinary opportunity to make one gift and have it go twice as far. Don't let it slip away. Make your first gift and join the fight as a key partner in the movement to rid the world of this cruel disease. Sincerely, Donna McCullough Chief Mission and Field Operations Officer P.S. The progress we have made — and the progress we must and will continue to make together — is only possible because of you. We can't stop now. Join our $600,000 Matching Gift Challenge before it expires and double your impact for those who are affected by this debilitating disease.

Your donation will strengthen our efforts to advance Alzheimer's care, support and research. From face-to-face support to online education programs and promising global research initiatives, your gift makes a difference in the lives of all those affected by Alzheimer's and other dementias in your community and across the world.
