Dear John,
Currently, 1 in 10 Americans age 65 or older is living with Alzheimer's, and 1 in 3 seniors dies with the disease. For everyone in your life who already is or might one day be impacted by Alzheimer's, I hope you'll consider sending your first gift to our May $500,000 Match Challenge.
Your first gift today can double in impact in the fight to end Alzheimer's. Your support can make 2X the difference on our work to help those facing Alzheimer's by providing care and support and accelerating research in dramatic ways that will lead to earlier diagnosis, improved treatment and, one day, the realization of our vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia.
Please don't miss this critical opportunity to support the more than 6 million Americans living with Alzheimer's during our May $500,000 Match Challenge. Your very first gift can go 2X as far in the fight to end Alzheimer's.
This match challenge is made possible thanks to our longtime supporter and Zenith Society member, Richard Schilder. In order to fight Alzheimer's and all other dementia, he has pledged to match all gifts up to a total of $500,000 if we raise that same amount by June 15. His gift will advance research through the U.S. POINTER study — a two-year clinical trial designed to evaluate whether lifestyle changes can protect cognitive function in people at risk of developing dementia — and provide local care and support. Your first gift can go 2X as far to accelerate research and enhance care and support. He encourages you to join him in the fight against Alzheimer's and adds, "You don't know which dollar will be the one that finds a cure."
When you make your first gift today, you can have 2X the impact and help:
- Loved ones who have caregiving questions get answers through our free nationwide 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900).
- Those depending on us to make advancements in research through more than 650 active best-of-field projects in 39 countries.
- The many people who need better access to care — we advocate at the federal and state levels for funding to improve the lives of everyone impacted by Alzheimer's and all other dementia.
We're so thankful to members of our community like you for supporting 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 respond today by making your first gift while it can go 2X as far. Your gift can have a lasting impact on the lives of the millions of people living with Alzheimer's.
Alzheimer's steals everything — steadily, relentlessly, inevitably. We must do everything we can to end this disease.
Please join us today in our global fight against this devastating disease while your first donation can go 2X as far.
Sincerely,
Donna McCullough
Chief Field and Development Officer
P.S. We're running out of time to meet our May $500,000 Match Challenge. Please join our community while your first gift can have 2X the impact in the fight to end Alzheimer's.
