Dear John, August is drawing to a close — along with our Summer Annual Fund Drive. Can we count on you to join us in the fight to end Alzheimer's disease and all other dementia by making your first gift? By joining us today, you'll help us provide care and support, advance critical Alzheimer's disease research, and advocate for the more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer's. We welcome you as part of our community dedicated to ending this devastating disease, a critical role made even more necessary as COVID-19 continues to disproportionally impact people living with Alzheimer's. With our voices combined, we can urge federal and state policymakers to improve the response to COVID-19 in long-term care facilities. In addition to funding our 24/7 care and support programs and helping to accelerate vital research, your first gift to our Annual Fund Drive will support crucial advocacy efforts on behalf of families affected by Alzheimer's and all other dementia, including: Working to ensure people living with younger-onset Alzheimer's and dementia have access to critical care and support services through the Older Americans Act, regardless of their age. Urging state and federal lawmakers to implement policies that will enhance adequate testing, ensure access to the necessary equipment (i.e. PPE), implement necessary mandatory reporting, and develop protocols to respond to a rise in COVID-19 cases in long-term and residential care settings. Advancing the federal government's commitment to Alzheimer's and dementia research, helping secure research funding increases that bring annual funding at the National Institutes of Health to $2.8 billion. I hope you'll join us in our relentless pursuit of our vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all dementia. Please take part in our Summer Annual Fund Drive by making your first donation today. We need you to help further 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. Sincerely, Donna McCullough Chief Field and Development Officer P.S. Hurry — our Summer Annual Fund Drive ends at midnight on August 31.
