Spread 2X the love during our $50,000 Double the Love Match Challenge.

Dear John, A dozen red roses for Valentine's Day costs, on average, over $42. A date with dinner for two, a bottle of wine and a movie costs, on average, more than $100. I ask you to please think about that, since Valentine's Day is tomorrow. Then think about what really matters most for ourselves and the people we love — that's our health, our future and our lives. That's why a gift to help end Alzheimer's disease is a gift of love. Please support the Alzheimer's Association today with a Valentine's Day gift. Between now and February 28, you can have 2X the impact on advancing vital research and helping to provide quality care and support during our $50,000 Double the Love Match Challenge. This opportunity is thanks to our friends at the Lily Pointe Family Foundation, who've pledged their matching gift to support local care consultation services. When you join this challenge, your gift — in any amount up to $50,000 — can be matched to 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. You may even choose to make your donation a tribute gift in the name of someone you love, like a neighbor, coworker or friend who's been affected by Alzheimer's. What a wonderful way to honor them — and a wonderful way to show that you're committed to a healthier future for us all. Often, when we think about the risk of Alzheimer's, we think of the statistics. 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 million and 152 million, respectively, by 2050 — an alarming rate that will put more lives at risk and increase the financial and emotional strain on families and caregivers. However, when Alzheimer's affects someone we love, it isn't about statistics at all. It's about the pain of seeing the person you care so much about slip away from you and feeling powerless to change that. But you aren't powerless. And you're not alone. We are in this fight together until the day we realize our vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia. Our Alzheimer's Association community has made so much progress thanks to caring community members like you. The people being diagnosed with Alzheimer's are like you and I. They are friends and neighbors from our communities. They are people we care about. Please make your gift to provide help and hope for all those affected today — it's an act of love. When you "Double the Love" just look at what your matched gift can do: A dozen roses is a beautiful gift, but they soon wilt. A dinner for two can be special, but it ends all too soon. An investment in research, care and support, however, can help to achieve a healthier and more hopeful future. Giving to the Alzheimer's Association really is an act of love. Sincerely, Donna McCullough Chief Mission and Field Operations Officer P.S. There are so many ways to show love, and giving generously can be one of them. Please make a gift that can go twice as far to advance research and provide care and support during our $50,000 Double the Love Match Challenge.

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.
