Dear Friend,

Our vision is clear: a world without Alzheimer's and all other
dementia. We're closer than ever, but to get there we need your
support. This month, we're offering an opportunity for your gift to go
twice as far with a 2X Match Challenge.

The Kahlert Foundation, a Maryland
based family foundation, has pledged $160,000 to the Alzheimer's
Association to support Alzheimer's disease research and programs and
outreach initiatives at their local chapter - but only if we can
raise that same amount by August 16. Thanks to their generosity, any
gift you make can be matched to advance critical research efforts and
help provide care and support.

The stakes have never been higher, Friend, and our
mission has never been clearer. You're the key to advancing 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. Will you
join us today for this special match opportunity?

Living Well with Dementia: Art

There are many reasons for individuals living with Alzheimer's
or other dementia to take up art. Tapping into their creativity can
help build self-esteem, reduce stress and provide a valuable space to
express themselves. It can also be a way to bond with loved ones.

Follow these tips when planning an art project for people
living with dementia:

* Keep the project on an adult level. Avoid anything that might be
demeaning or seem childlike.
* Provide encouragement and discuss what the person is creating.
* Help the person begin the activity. If the person is painting,
you may need to start the brush movement. Most other projects
should only require basic instruction and assistance.
* Use safe materials. Avoid toxic substances and sharp tools.
* Allow plenty of time, keeping in mind that the person doesn't
have to finish the project in one sitting.

We're happy to offer this kind of educational outreach to our
community. We need your support now to expand this work, as well as
advance breakthrough research and provide care and support resources.
Will you join us today so your first gift can have twice the impact?
