Your gift today can make 2X the difference for people living with Alzheimer's at this critical time.

Dear John, The COVID-19 pandemic has made one of the hardest challenges many families will ever face — caring for someone living with Alzheimer's disease — even harder. June is Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month. During this time, we can heighten our efforts to raise awareness throughout communities, provide care and support, advance research, encourage action and create conversation about Alzheimer's and all other dementia. And if we raise $50,000 by June 15, a generous donor who wishes to remain anonymous has pledged to match that with another $50,000 to help provide local care and support services. Our $50,000 Matching Gift Challenge makes this an especially meaningful opportunity to to join us to help advance Alzheimer's research and provide care and support at this critical time and beyond. It's Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month. Until June 15, your gift of: Any amount you give today can be matched up to a total of $50,000, so please be as generous as you can. There's not much time left to meet this $50,000 Matching Gift Challenge, and we're counting on you. Your gift today can go twice as far to help those facing Alzheimer‘s while furthering our mission to lead the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia — by accelerating research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support. Most likely, dementia does not increase risk for COVID-19. But the dementia-related behaviors, increased age and common health conditions that often accompany dementia make an individual more vulnerable. The challenge for their caregivers is almost unimaginable. Now more than ever, each one of them deserve our unconditional support, and the Alzheimer's Association continues to provide that help through our 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900) and online resources at alz.org. I also urge you to honor a loved one or a caregiver today, knowing your gift can have twice the impact for those living with Alzheimer's disease and all the heroes who care for them. Together, we are finding powerful and effective ways to keep moving the cause forward. Sincerely, Donna McCullough Chief Field and Development Officer P.S. No one should face Alzheimer's alone. Thanks to friends like you, our free 24/7 Helpline remains open around the clock. Please call 800.272.3900 any time, day or night.

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.
