Dear Friend,
Time is running out and we are hoping to hear from you before the September 21 deadline. We're grateful to count you as a community member — and I hope you can share your generosity through your first gift today.
In recognition of World Alzheimer's Day, long-time supporters and Alzheimer's Association Zenith Society members Dick and Marianne Kipper have pledged to match every donation we receive until September 21 — up to a total of $175,000. Their gift will help fund Alzheimer's disease research, while your donation can be matched to make a powerful difference to provide more care and support and accelerate research. But to achieve this challenge, we'll need to raise $175,000 by World Alzheimer's Day.
Friend, your gift can go 2X as far to 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.
Right now, advancements in research and more care and support are needed urgently. You may already be aware of these alarming numbers:
- By 2050, the number of people in the United States living with Alzheimer's is estimated to reach nearly 13 million.
- 1 in 3 seniors dies with Alzheimer's or another dementia.
- Family members and friends provided nearly $321 billion in unpaid care to people living with Alzheimer's and other dementias in 2022.
Friend, these statistics demonstrate the heartbreaking reality that there is more work to be done. We won't rest until we can celebrate a World Alzheimer's Day when everyone living with this disease, at any stage, can access the treatment and care and support — and ultimately, the cure — they need. Your support today can help get us to that day sooner. This $175,000 World Alzheimer's Day Match Challenge ends in just 5 days, and we can't help the more than 6 million Americans living with Alzheimer's or their 11 million caregivers without you.
Through your generosity today, your gift can go 2X as far. |

Thank you for helping to make this a purposeful and impactful World Alzheimer's Day.
Gratefully,
Donna McCullough
Chief Mission and Field Operations Officer
P.S. Your support today can help continue our work to end to Alzheimer's and all other dementia — and provide help and hope to those who are facing this terrible disease. If you haven't given yet, please make a gift that can achieve 2X the impact now. Thank you.
