Act now: rare opportunity to have your gift go 3X further.

Dear Friend, What if you could make this holiday season more hopeful for those living with Alzheimer's disease — and the loved ones who care for them? And what if I told you that you have an extraordinary opportunity to make a gift that can go THREE times as far to help bring them this hope? Today, you can — thanks to an amazing matching gift challenge funded by the Konar Family, who has generously pledged a $300,000 gift in memory of William and Sheila Konar to advance Alzheimer's research. This means that your first gift today, up to a total of $300,000, can go 3X as far to help provide care and support and advance promising Alzheimer's research — but only until December 31. With the holiday season fast approaching, this rare 3X Matching Gift Challenge couldn't have come at a better time. Not only because of the holidays, which can bring pain and sadness for those with a loved one living with Alzheimer's and those who have lost someone to this disease — but because November is also National Family Caregivers Month, a time to recognize and honor those currently providing care, as well as those who have lost someone they cared for. Being a dedicated caregiver can be isolating and overwhelming. They have to manage safety precautions, provide care or uphold traditions, all while grieving the fact that a loved one is living with this disease. Caregivers give so much of themselves that their own physical and emotional health can begin to suffer. Your gift during National Family Caregivers Month will show that you recognize the sacrifices they've made, as well as provide them with the resources they need and a network of support through the Association, while advancing global research. As you can see, the holidays are a time when many people will turn to the Alzheimer's Association for help and support. As families impacted by Alzheimer's meet the challenges of this time of year, your help is more important than ever. Friend, thank you for being a part of this incredible community. I'm deeply grateful. Can I count on you to join the fight with your first gift now, while your gift can go 3X as far, getting us even closer to achieving our vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia? By participating in our 3X Matching Gift Challenge today, you'll help 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. Friend, there are currently more than 6 million Americans living with Alzheimer's. They're part of our community, as are the over 11 million family members and friends who provide their unpaid care. That's why the Association is here to support them — whether it's during the holidays when stress can run especially high or any other time of the year. Your support makes it possible for us to be a reliable resource for families, providing support like: Our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900), staffed with master's-level clinicians. ALZ Connected®, an online community where anyone impacted by Alzheimer's can share concerns and offer support — so that no one has to feel alone. Community Resource Finder, to help find programs, events and community services. By making a generous first gift today, you're extending your holiday spirit of generosity and hope to families who need support. Please say that you'll take advantage of this incredible chance to have your gift go 3X as far in the fight against Alzheimer's. Your gift today can go 3X as far in the fight against Alzheimer's: With the number of people living with the disease expected to grow dramatically in the coming years, Alzheimer's remains an escalating global public health crisis. But thanks to your generosity, we're making progress. Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments are available that could meaningfully change the course of the disease for people living with early Alzheimer's. While these treatments offer hope for some, they are not the answer for everyone. Our fight is far from over and we need to keep this momentum going strong. That's why your support of this 3X match opportunity is so crucial. Thank you in advance for donating today while your gift can have 3X the impact and push the progress we've made against Alzheimer's forward. On behalf of the millions of loved ones who are providing care to people living with Alzheimer's this holiday season, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your generosity will help make the season a little brighter. In shared commitment, Donna McCullough Chief Mission and Field Operations Officer P.S. I reached out as soon as I learned of this limited-time opportunity to TRIPLE your impact in the fight against Alzheimer's. Please don't wait to make your early holiday gift that can help provide support for caregivers and those affected and advance critical research all year long. Thank you, and warmest holiday wishes to you and yours.

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.
