Dear Friend,
In less than 48 hours, we'll celebrate The Longest Day® — the summer solstice. People around the world will come together to outshine the darkness of Alzheimer's disease through a fundraising activity of their choice. Each of these efforts will help fight this cruel disease that impacts the lives of more than 55 million people worldwide.
You can join this powerful movement by supporting The Longest Day $20,000 Match Challenge. Thanks to a pledge from a generous donor who wishes to remain anonymous, your gift can be matched 2X — if we're able to raise the same amount by midnight on the summer solstice, June 20. Their gift will help support local public policy and advocacy initiatives, while your contribution can go twice far to help provide care and support and advance research. Take action now to make 2X the impact.
The Longest Day makes me think of the great light of hope we can shine through our actions and generous support. Participants fight the darkness of Alzheimer's and all other dementia through a fundraising activity of their choice on a day that works for them. With sports tournaments, card games, parties, baking and more, participants raise funds to advance the care, support and research efforts of the Association.
Friend, it's critical that we take advantage of every minute of this fight. I'm so grateful that you're an important part of our community. That's why I'm urging you today to help us get a head start on The Longest Day by donating now, while your first gift can go twice as far to help provide care and support and power research breakthroughs all year long.
Hurry, make your 2X match gift to outshine the darkness of Alzheimer's. |

Today, the number of Americans living with or affected by Alzheimer's is growing — as is the public health impact on us all. Did you know the lifetime risk for Alzheimer's at age 45 is approximately 1 in 10 for men and an alarming 1 in 5 for women? That means 10% of all men and 20% of all women are at risk of losing everything to this terrible disease — time, memories, independence and, ultimately, life. This disease is relentless, and our efforts must be, too.
We must make the most of every single day in this fight — for the sake of every family impacted by Alzheimer's. While The Longest Day represents just one day in the year, it is crucial that we maximize the global swell of support to heighten our efforts to raise awareness, provide care and support, accelerate research, encourage action and create conversation about Alzheimer's and all other dementia.
In just a few days, this special opportunity will be over. Don't wait — support The Longest Day $20,000 Match Challenge before time runs out. Please make your first gift while it can still make twice the impact to:
- Provide free resources to the millions of Americans affected by Alzheimer's, from our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900) to our website at alz.org to our education programs and Community Resource Finder.
- Lead the global effort to eliminate Alzheimer's by bringing researchers together to accelerate the pace of discovery toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure.
- Advocate unrelentingly for public policies that will increase federal research funding and support those impacted by Alzheimer's.
The Longest Day ends at midnight on June 20. That gives you just a few more days to make your light shine twice as bright during this special 2X match opportunity. Your urgently needed gift can have DOUBLE the impact and help give hope to millions of people living with Alzheimer's and the families who love them.
Please don't let this special day pass you by without taking action. Please give now, while your support can make twice the difference 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.
The progress we have made — and the progress we must and will make together — is only possible because of you. I truly hope The Longest Day is the day you join the fight.
With gratitude,
Michael Reich
Chief Marketing Officer
