People are counting on you.

Dear John, This year has been unusual for many of us. We've all had the opportunity to focus on what matters most, like staying safe, keeping healthy — and the strength of community. At the Alzheimer's Association, because of people like you, we're a caring community. Our supporters and advocates come from all 50 states and from cities and towns just like yours. And we believe no one should have to face Alzheimer's alone. I know you share this commitment. You've shown that through your interest in our work. I believe our work matters deeply to you, which is why I'm asking you to please make a holiday gift now while it can be matched 2X up to $100,000 until December 14. Dr. Ellen H. Yankellow and Mr. William Chapman have agreed to match all gifts made to this challenge, up to $100,000 — but only if we can raise the same amount by December 14. Their gift will support critical Alzheimer's research, while your gift will help to provide care and support and advance research. Taking part in our $100,000 Matching Gift Challenge means: Supporting 590 best-of-field research projects in 31 countries — because it'll take all of us working together to end this devastating disease. Ensuring that whether someone reaches out in the middle of the night or the middle of the day, they can find the resources and support they need and connect with master's-level clinicians via our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900). Fighting for federal and state policies that will support those living with Alzheimer's and their dedicated caregivers. Please don't let this special opportunity pass without taking advantage of it. Thank you for all you have done this year, and for making one special holiday gift now while it can be matched 2X. Your gift will help drive 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. Thank you in advance for your support. Sincerely, Donna McCullough Chief Field and Development Officer P.S. After a year like this one, we all know how much community matters. We can do so much good together. We are a community — and your generous commitment helps make our work to advance research while providing vital care and support for caregivers and families affected by Alzheimer's possible. Please make a holiday gift that can be matched 2X, up to $100,000, in impact. Thank you.

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.
