Dear Friend,
This amazing opportunity to have your gift matched in our End of Summer $50,000 Match Challenge won't be around long.
A generous group of our Alois Society members has created this $50,000 matching gift opportunity. That means when you make your first gift now to get in the fight it can go twice as far to help provide care and support to those affected by Alzheimer's disease, advocate for policy change and research funding, and advance research toward prevention, treatment and, ultimately, a cure. The time to act is now, because you only have until August 28 to make 2X the impact with your gift.
Act now to achieve 2X the impact with one gift. |

This End of Summer $50,000 Match Challenge couldn't have come at a better time. We are currently investing over $360 million in more than 1,000 active research projects in 53 countries.
This research is having a real impact. Today, there are two Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments available that slow cognitive and functional decline for people living with early Alzheimer's. These treatments could give them more time with their families, increase their independence and enrich their quality of life. Early detection and diagnosis are critical to ensure individuals receive the greatest benefit possible.
We need to keep research going, provide more care and support and advocate to ensure that all the people who can benefit from approved therapies have access to them. They're counting on us, and we're counting on you to help. Please make your gift today.
Between 2000 and 2019, deaths from Alzheimer’s disease more than doubled, increasing 145%. As an escalating public health crisis, Alzheimer's affects millions of people living with the disease as well as the family members caring for them, and it kills more people than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. Until there is a cure, we are all at risk.
When you give to our End of Summer $50,000 Match Challenge today, your generosity can go twice as far to:
- Ensure we can provide care and support in communities nationwide, on our website, alz.org, and through our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900), along with online training, help for people living in long-term settings and more.
- Advance research such as U.S. POINTER, a landmark clinical trial designed to evaluate how interventions that simultaneously target multiple risk factors may protect cognitive function in older adults who are at increased risk for cognitive decline.
- Strengthen our efforts to advance public policy at the federal and state levels, to better serve people living with dementia and their families, while pushing for increased federal funding for Alzheimer's and dementia research.
Thank you for your commitment to a world in which no one has to fear Alzheimer's. Your strong interest in our fight leads me to believe that Alzheimer's has touched your life in some way. This is the perfect time to take your commitment to the next level and join our community of supporters. When you make your first gift before our August 28 deadline, it can go twice as far to help bring us closer to our vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia.
Your generous donation will support 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. That's a big impact.
Friend, thank you in advance for helping to meet the challenge and make this End of Summer $50,000 Match Challenge a success. We are honored and grateful that you are such a vital part of our fight to end Alzheimer's. We are powerful, together.
With appreciation,
Donna McCullough
Chief Mission and Field Operations Officer
