A special opportunity for you to double your impact.
2X MATCH ALERT
Dear Friend,
International Women's Day is just a few days away, a time for us to honor the achievements of women globally and celebrate the women in our own lives. But for too many women, their lives are shadowed by the burden of Alzheimer's disease and other dementia.
Women are disproportionately more likely to be affected by Alzheimer's than men — almost two-thirds of Americans living with Alzheimer's are women and approximately two-thirds of dementia caregivers are women. But you have the opportunity to fight back. Right now, you can DOUBLE your impact in the fight against Alzheimer's and all other dementia. Our March 2X Match Challenge starts today and, as someone with interest in our work, I wanted you to be the first to know.
This special match ends March 10. It's urgent that you help as soon as possible because we're facing an escalating global public health crisis. The number of Americans living with Alzheimer's disease is projected to nearly double by the year 2060. That means millions more — a majority of them women — will have to face this devastating disease. I hope you'll join us to honor those women and everyone affected, and let them know they're not alone.
The Zent Family Foundation has stepped up in the face of this crisis and has pledged $120,000 in support of Alzheimer's disease research. Any gift you give before midnight on March 10 — up to $120,000 — can be matched 2X. Your donation to this matching gift challenge will support critical research efforts and help provide care and support. Please help us unlock this match while your gift can double in impact.
You have the power to make a tremendous impact as we advance crucial priorities, including:
Encouraging early detection, so that more people can plan for the future, benefit from available treatments, develop a support system and live the best quality of life possible.
Ending the stigma around Alzheimer's by helping us continue to raise awareness of disease, so that more people feel comfortable seeking treatment when symptoms are present.
Educational initiatives that reach more people, such as our 10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer's, designed to help loved ones recognize whether issues with memory, thinking or behavior could be a sign of Alzheimer's or another dementia.
Thank you in advance for recognizing the urgency of the fight against Alzheimer's and the opportunity to double your impact.
With gratitude,
Donna McCullough
Chief Operating Officer
