Your holiday gift can have triple the impact

Dear Friend, There's no question about it: Those whose lives have been impacted by Alzheimer's disease need our help — and we need your support to provide that help. Our 3X Matching Gift Challenge is the perfect opportunity to show your support and make an impact — by funding research, helping to provide care and support, and increasing advocacy efforts to ensure that our mission is heard at every government level. Can we count on you to give your first gift and help? When I heard this exciting news a few days ago, I reached out to you immediately. The Konar Family has generously pledged a $300,000 gift in memory of William and Sheila Konar to advance Alzheimer's disease research. That means that your gift can go 3X as far — up to a total of $300,000 — to push forward promising Alzheimer's research and provide care and support for so many who need it. But this opportunity ends December 31, so please give today. I hope that you recognize how truly remarkable this opportunity to make your first gift work 3X as hard is — especially at this time of year, when our loved ones living with Alzheimer's and their caregivers need so much help. We're committed to being there for them around-the-clock, 24/7, 365 days a year, but can't offer this level of support without you. Will you help us end this escalating global public health crisis? Your support can go 3X as far to advance research and provide resources 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. Especially now, as the holidays approach, caregivers can be pushed to their limits. Trying to balance safety protocols with family traditions can be difficult, and it can be especially hard to see just how much a loved one has changed if they're unable to participate in cherished family traditions. Mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, grandparents — anyone — living with Alzheimer's may also feel a special sense of loss during the holidays because of the changes they've experienced. Your first gift provides hope and help to those who are living with Alzheimer's and the loved ones who provide their care. This is a truly pivotal time in the fight against Alzheimer's. Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments are available that could meaningfully change the course of the disease for people living with early Alzheimer's. These treatments offer new hope to many. But they are not the answer for everyone, so our fight is far from over. This $300,000 3X match is an amazing opportunity to keep our tremendous progress going strong. I hope you'll help us with a generous gift today. The future of this devastating disease is in our hands. Please help us reach our 3X Matching Gift Challenge goal — and help end Alzheimer's for future generations — by donating now, while you can have 3X the impact on our vital work.

Thank you in advance for joining the fight and sending your first gift as soon as you can, so it can have 3X the impact in the fight to end Alzheimer's. I wish you and your family a safe, happy and healthy holiday season. In the spirit of giving, Donna McCullough Chief Mission and Field Operations Officer P.S. When you send your holiday gift, you'll help unlock our 3X Matching Gift Challenge and 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. Please donate today. Thank you.

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.
