For people living with Alzheimer's disease or another dementia, art and music are not just an entertaining way to pass the time. Expressing oneself through art or music can bring joy, stress relief, as well as provide bonding experiences with loved ones.
That's why the Alzheimer's Association created Music Moments. Featuring a slate of award-winning artists sharing stories and songs, Music Moments offers a rare glimpse into the emotional connection between music and the moments in life that we never want to lose. Watch our video from SXSW 2022 and to hear just how powerful music can be.
"A lot of times things seem insurmountable," says Lee Ann Womack, who performs in Music Moments, "and then you hear a great song and all of a sudden you feel like, 'OK, this is doable. This is something that we can handle.'"
By supporting our work, you are helping us reach our constituents and loved ones with ways to enhance their lives. But we urgently need your support to continue this work, and right now there is a great opportunity for involvement.
We are in the middle of our $160,000 2X Matching Gift Challenge, but we haven't heard from you yet. Would you make a first gift today and take your commitment to the next level today?
The Kahlert Foundation, a Maryland based family foundation, has pledged $160,000 to the Alzheimer's Association to support Alzheimer's research and programs and outreach initiatives at their local chapter — but only if we can raise that same amount by August 16. Any gift you make today, up to a total of $160,000 can be matched to advance critical research efforts and help provide care and support.
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. Thank you for your continued support.
