Our 2022 Annual Fund Drive starts with you. Please make your gift today.

John, DONATE NOW. > Dear John, Last year, people like you helped the Alzheimer's Association make unprecedented progress in the fight against Alzheimer's and provide support for an increasing number of people living with the disease. Now it's a new year. And I'm sure you'd agree, one of America's top priorities must be the ongoing fight against Alzheimer's. It's critical to our health, our lives and our future. Please lead the way by making your contribution to our Annual Fund Drive today. You'll help advance critical research, provide vital care and support, and make 2022 a year of impact. A new year offers a fresh start. Please make 2022 the year you make your first gift. Your very generous 2022 gift now will help advance 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. Today, there are more than 6 million people living with Alzheimer's in the United States and more than 50 million worldwide. These numbers are expected to skyrocket to a projected 13.8 million and 152 million, respectively, by mid-century. The potential for earlier diagnosis and the development of better treatments may significantly improve the lives of millions of people living with Alzheimer's. In the meantime, the cost of care will continue to rise dramatically, increasing the challenges for those living with the disease and the people caring for them. It's time to face those challenges and stand strong as a community. Make your 2022 Annual Fund Drive contribution today. Never has the case for accelerated progress been more urgent. In the United States, 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 each day, and as we grow older our chance of developing Alzheimer's goes up. As our population ages, the number of people living with the disease will significantly increase. Even with insurance or other forms of financial assistance, individuals living with Alzheimer's or another dementia and their caregivers still incur high out-of-pocket costs. Alzheimer's cost $355 billion in 2021 in the United States alone, and this number will increase to $1.1 trillion by 2050 unless we find a way to prevent, treat or delay the disease. John, DONATE NOW. > Our 2022 Annual Fund Drive is one of our most important efforts because it helps us pursue top priorities in the year ahead, such as: Expanding access to quality care for those who need it and broadening overall support to those living with the disease. Increasing our investment in research to accelerate risk reduction and more effective treatment for Alzheimer's and all other dementia. Securing significant advances in our state and federal policy priorities to improve the lives of those with dementia, as well as their caregivers. Strengthening diversity, equity and inclusion by addressing barriers that may interfere with members of diverse communities from receiving Alzheimer's education, care and support. Even the biggest obstacles are no match for our community when we come together. Please join us in support of this crucial movement by making a generous gift to our 2022 Annual Fund Drive now. Thank you so much. More people than ever will rely on the Alzheimer's Association this year. Our ability to meet the growing need for care and support and increase funding for research that can lead to improved diagnostics, more effective treatment and, one day, a cure, depends on your support.
