Make a gift that delivers 2X the help, hope and progress.
Dear Friend,
On September 21, the world will come together for World Alzheimer's Day to give our fight to end Alzheimer's disease and other dementia a powerful voice for all to hear.
But World Alzheimer's Day is just one day. The nearly 7 million Americans living with this dreadful disease deserve to be heard all year round. Advocating for their needs and rights is one more reason why we must make the most of our World Alzheimer's Day 2X Match Challenge.
As a result of Association advocacy efforts, as much as $3.8 billion is being invested in Alzheimer's and dementia research annually by the federal government. Thanks to our supporters —
Advocates used digital platforms to make over 115,000 connections with state and federal lawmakers regarding public policy priorities.
The Association held more than 1,500 meetings with members of Congress, including over 500 on Hill Day during the 2024 AIM Advocacy Forum.
The Association brought together state agency officials for the State Dementia Services Coordinator (DSC) Summit in Washington, D.C.
The Association is able to advocate in all 50 states at federal and state levels to secure access to U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved Alzheimer's treatments for those who would benefit.
This World Alzheimer's Day 2X Match Challenge gives you a chance to make a gift that can make twice the difference, thanks to a generous supporter who wishes to remain anonymous. They have pledged to match every gift we receive by midnight on September 21 — up to $175,000 — and dedicate their gift to supporting Alzheimer's research and local chapter events. That means your donation right now can be DOUBLED in impact to give our fight 2X the voice. It can deliver 2X the help and hope to everyone impacted by Alzheimer's and other dementia through care and support as well as research efforts.
If we are to make the spirit and passion of World Alzheimer's Day last all year long, we need you in this fight right now while your support can have 2X the impact on our work to advocate for policies that prioritize this escalating global public health crisis. We need you to 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.
Friend, there are just a few days before World Alzheimer's Day. That means time is running out on our World Alzheimer's Day 2X Match Challenge. Please don't let the September 21 deadline pass without taking action. Please make your first gift while it can still go 2X as far to give our fight a voice, provide help and hope for everyone living with Alzheimer's, and drive our research momentum into the future.
On behalf of everyone in the Alzheimer's Association community — and all the families your gift today will help — I thank you in advance for your generosity.
Best regards,
Beth McMullen
