World Alzheimer's Day 2X Match Challenge
World Alzheimer's Day
MATCH MY GIFT >>
Dear Friend,

World Alzheimer's Day is Sunday, September 21. It's a day of global reflection when our community comes together to honor the over 7 million Americans — and millions of others around the world — living with Alzheimer's disease. With your help, we can put a global spotlight on Alzheimer's and show our continued commitment to care, support, research and advocacy.

Today, I'm excited to announce a special way that you can stand up with other supporters in our community to make an even greater impact — our World Alzheimer's Day 2X Match Challenge!

I want to personally invite you to join this special match opportunity because you've shown how important the fight to end this devastating disease is to you. I hope you'll want to take a stand for World Alzheimer's Day — a day of global awareness and action — by making your very first gift.

JOIN US FOR WORLD ALZHEIMER'S DAY >>

Generous supporter Leone McKay has pledged to match every donation we receive — up to a total of $150,000 — if we can raise that same amount by September 21 at midnight. Her pledge is made in honor of her late husband, Col. William P. McKay, whom she lost to Alzheimer's disease, and will support vital research. Your gift today can go 2X as far toward advancing research and helping to provide care and support.

Leone McKay has stepped up to stand with us this World Alzheimer's Day. Will you join her now, so we can start our match challenge off strong?

YES! I WILL GIVE NOW WHILE MY GIFT CAN DOUBLE IN IMPACT >>

The numbers are truly staggering, Friend:
  • 1 in 3 older adults dies with Alzheimer's or another dementia.
  • Alzheimer's kills more than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.
  • In 2025, Alzheimer's and other dementias will cost the nation $384 billion. By 2050, these costs could rise to nearly $1 trillion.
  • In 2024, caregivers provided more than 19 billion hours of care, valued at over $413 billion.
You can help us change the trajectory of this disease in the United States and all over the world. Please make a generous donation before this challenge ends on September 21 so that your gift, up to a total of $150,000, can go twice as far.

MATCH MY FIRST GIFT NOW >>

Together, we are advancing 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.

Please make a special gift today in honor of World Alzheimer's Day while it can have 2X the impact in the fight to end Alzheimer's. And please know how much we, and all those impacted by Alzheimer's, appreciate your commitment.

Sincerely,
Katie Evans
