Dear John,
Financial-services firm Edward Jones announced this week it is renewing its strategic alliance with the Alzheimer's Association, committing $25 million over the next five years. The commitment builds on the $25 million already raised by Edward Jones, its associates and clients since launching the alliance in 2016. The $50 million investment spanning 10 years is the largest commitment ever received by the Alzheimer's Association from a corporate partnership. Funding will enhance the Alzheimer's Association's care and support programs, continue to accelerate critical research as well as provide educational materials for Edward Jones clients and associates. The firm will advance public policy through their Alzheimer's Impact Movement corporate membership and continue to accelerate critical research.
Edward Jones will maintain their involvement with The Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's® as a national presenting sponsor and will engage their associates and clients through the Walk National Team program. More than 65,000 Edward Jones associates, clients, friends and families over the last four years participated on Edward Jones teams at more than 600 Alzheimer's walks held nationwide each year.
As the number of people affected by Alzheimer's and other dementia continues to grow, Edward Jones' commitment to the cause is crucial in funding research, supporting education, advancing access to care and broadening awareness of this disease.
We thank Edward Jones for their monumental support of our vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia.

Sincerely,
Donna McCullough
Chief Field and Development Officer
Alzheimer's Association
