Fall $200,000 Match Challenge
Dear Friend,

The number of Americans who are living with Alzheimer's disease is growing fast. Over 6 million people in the United States are living with this devastating disease, and that number is expected to double by 2050.

What's even more alarming? The number of deaths from Alzheimer's is growing, too. Here are the shocking facts:
  • Deaths from Alzheimer's disease increased 145% between 2000 and 2019.
  • 1 in 3 seniors dies with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia.
  • Alzheimer's kills more people than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.
Lives are at stake. Right now, you can help tackle this national public health crisis and have twice the impact during our Fall $200,000 Match Challenge. I know I can count on you, friend.

YES, COUNT ME IN

The interest you've shown tells me you believe in our work. We need kind people like you to help us further 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 why I'm hoping you'll choose today to make your first gift — while your support can go TWICE as far.

We're lucky to have the support of Dick and Marianne Kipper, two members of our Zenith Society. They've generously pledged to match every donation we receive by October 31 — up to a total of $200,000. Their donation will advance important Alzheimer's research. Your first gift today can go TWICE as far to accelerate research and to help provide care and support to those who need it.

Here's the challenge: We must raise the same amount — $200,000 — by the deadline to unlock these matching funds.

If we can meet our goal, your first gift today can be matched to go 2X as far. That means you'll help provide care and support for those facing Alzheimer's and accelerate global research — with double the impact.

Your first gift can go 2X as far during this incredible match.
$16 can become $32.
$30 can become $60.
$50 can become $100.
MATCH MY GIFT NOW

Friend, I know the statistics can be scary. Especially if someone you love is living with the effects of this cruel disease. But hope exists in the form of promising new research and treatments.

In July, the Food and Drug Administration approved Leqembi® for the treatment of early Alzheimer's. By slowing progression of the disease when taken in the early stages, this new drug can give individuals more time to participate in daily life and live independently.

It's not a cure, and it's not for everyone, but this treatment gives people living with early Alzheimer's what they want most: more time. More time with their families. More time doing the things they love. More time living on their own terms.

Your generous support makes this kind of progress possible. But there is still work to be done. We need to keep fighting until everyone at every stage of the disease has access to the treatments and care and support they need. Please don't stop now — not when your first gift can go TWICE as far to help even more.

Your support today can help in so many ways, including:
Offering support for more than 11 million caregivers — many of whom are family members.
Investing in important Alzheimer's research to find new treatments and, one day, a cure.
Providing Alzheimer's support all day, every day, through our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900).
Advocating for policies that increase federal funding for Alzheimer's research.

MAKE 2X THE IMPACT WITH YOUR FIRST GIFT

Every day, researchers around the world are working to end this deadly disease. The goal is within our reach. But we won't get there without you.

Sincerely,

Donna McCullough
