Dear Friend,

When you wake up tomorrow, it will be World Alzheimer's Day — September 21. And tomorrow at midnight, our World Alzheimer's Day 2X Match Challenge will end. We urgently need you today, because the fight for a cure has never been more important.

Your gift is crucially needed for so many reasons. Today, I want to share an extra one. And it's a scary truth — we're all at risk for Alzheimer's disease. Chances are you, or someone you know, has been — or will be — impacted by this deadly disease. As someone who cares about ending Alzheimer's, you understand that every moment is precious when you're fighting this disease, because each moment it steals more of your independence and time with family and friends.

There is no time to waste. When this incredible match opportunity ends, so will your chance to have your first gift go 2X as far to help provide care and support to so many in your community and across the country as well as advance the research that could, one day, end Alzheimer's. Please act now.

Thank you for joining us in the fight. Your support today is critical, so please take a moment now to make your first gift to change the lives of millions of people impacted by this devastating disease, before it's too late.

With gratitude,
Donna McCullough
Chief Operating Officer

7 Reasons to make 2X the impact for WORLD ALZHEIMER'S DAY

Dear Friend,

We've been counting down, and we're down to one — one day until World Alzheimer's Day — and one day left until our World Alzheimer's Day 2X Match Challenge ends.

As much as World Alzheimer's Day is about caring for those living with Alzheimer's disease today and focusing on protecting generations to come, it is also about honoring those this disease has taken from us. Their legacy is one more reason we fight to end this disease.

Making a gift in their name is a truly meaningful way to pay tribute. And right now — during the final hours of our World Alzheimer's Day 2X Match Challenge — is the perfect time to do it. That's because your gift today can honor your loved one by fueling our fight with 2X the impact to provide care and support for those impacted by Alzheimer's and to advance promising research until we find a cure for this devastating disease.

We only have until midnight tomorrow — September 21 — to make the most of this opportunity. Please don't wait another minute. Join the fight by making your first gift right now while it can still go TWICE as far to honor a loved one, provide care and support to the nearly 7 million Americans living with Alzheimer's today and advance promising research.

Make a gift that goes 2X as far to honor a loved one and help millions living with Alzheimer's today:

This incredible opportunity is made possible thanks to a generous donor who wishes to remain anonymous. They have pledged to match all gifts — up to $175,000 — if we can raise the same amount by midnight on September 21. Their gift will support Alzheimer's research and local chapter events, while your gift can go twice as far to help accelerate research and provide quality care and support.

As tomorrow approaches, I think about the family members, friends and neighbors who are no longer with us. I think about the nearly 7 million Americans living with Alzheimer's today and the more than 11 million family members and friends who provide their unpaid care.

The people we've lost deserve to be honored. Our loved ones impacted by Alzheimer's and other dementia today need our support. World Alzheimer's Day is the perfect day to do both, especially when your gift can go TWICE as far. You will help us fuel care and support, work with policymakers to make Alzheimer's a national priority and advance promising research toward new ways to diagnose, treat, prevent and, ultimately, cure this disease.

Don't let this opportunity pass you by. Make a gift right now that can go 2X as far to pay tribute to loved ones, help those living with Alzheimer's today and protect generations to come from this devastating disease.

Thank you in advance for standing with us this World Alzheimer's Day.

Sincerely,

Michael Reich
Chief Marketing Officer

P.S. World Alzheimer's Day is tomorrow — and when the clock strikes midnight tomorrow, our World Alzheimer's Day 2X Match Challenge will end.
