Today is Alzheimer’s Action Day, an ideal time to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and the need for more Alzheimer’s care, support and research.
To recognize this special day — as well as the more than 35 million Americans worldwide living with Alzheimer’s disease — take action now and become a monthly donor.
By giving on a monthly basis, you’ll be able to make regular, repeated gifts that fit your budget while you support the cause.
On Sept. 21, wear purple, the color of the Alzheimer’s movement, to honor the more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease and the millions more who care for them. Here are some ways you can go purple and take action:
Monthly gifts are easy
The amount you select is charged to your credit card automatically each month. You’re free to cancel at any time.
Monthly gifts are cost-effective
Because we can rely on your support each month, we can budget more effectively.
Monthly gifts make a difference
You can help us provide services to individuals and families who live with this disease, accelerate the progress of new treatments and preventions, and ultimately, find a cure.
Your monthly gifts will provide funding we can rely on to advance the fight against Alzheimer’s – on Alzheimer’s Action Day and throughout the year.
However you choose to observe this day, please give as generously as you can.
Support we can count on
Alzheimer’s Action Day is a great opportunity to get involved and become a monthly donor! Your recurring gifts will help ensure stable funding for our vital work
Thank you.
