Dear Friend,
The holidays bring so much joy to so many around the world. But for anyone impacted by Alzheimer's disease, this special time of year can bring additional hardship and pain.
A person living with Alzheimer's may feel an acute sense of loss because of the changes they have experienced, and caregivers can feel overwhelmed by maintaining traditions or keeping those they care for safe during this hectic time of year.
The holiday season also brings an incredible giving spirit that can help our loved ones impacted by this disease. It is in that spirit — and in memory of William and Sheila Konar — that the Konar Family has generously pledged to fund our $600,000 #GivingTuesday 3X Match gift. Their gift will help to advance Alzheimer's research.
This extraordinary offer ends at midnight on #GivingTuesday, November 28. #GivingTuesday is JUST TWO DAYS AWAY, and we need your help now to make the most of this matching gift challenge. Can we count on your first gift today to 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?
#GivingTuesday is about unleashing the power of individuals to transform their communities and the world through generosity.
Thanks to this collective commitment, we are currently investing more than $360 million in over 1,000 active best-of-field research projects in 53 countries, spanning six continents. Your generosity today can help continue to power this work.
You'll also fuel our efforts to provide families facing Alzheimer's with care and support when they need it most. We provide caregivers with tips and ideas for enjoying time with family and friends over the holidays — and specialists are always available at the other end of the phone line, any time of the day or night, through our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900).
Friend, your first gift today can help provide millions of Americans with hope. Please show your giving spirit this holiday season by donating now, while your gift can be matched 3X.
We are in this fight together. The more we come together, the more we can achieve together. Just think of what would happen if everyone gave $16 before the deadline:
If everyone who reads this makes their first gift of $16, we will meet our #GivingTuesday goal and help millions.

It's this power of individuals uniting for good that makes #GivingTuesday such an important and special time. For the more than 6 million Americans living with Alzheimer's today and the over 11 million family members and friends who are providing their unpaid care, the best gift you can give is hope. With only two days left before #GivingTuesday, the best time you can give that gift is now.
With gratitude,
Donna McCullough
Chief Mission and Field Operations Officer
P.S. So many people living with Alzheimer's need our help now, so don't wait to make your #GivingTuesday donation. Please give today, knowing your first gift can make 3X the impact. Thank you.
