Today, more than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease. Funding for Alzheimer’s care, support and research is vital if we are to keep pace with this devastating epidemic. Because monthly gifts provide such significant support for these efforts, we’ve launched a January Donor Drive to recruit more friends who want to advance our work.
Why should you consider giving monthly?
One donor puts it this way:
“I donate in honor of my mother, who has the most beautiful open, loving spirit despite the challenges of this disease. Giving monthly makes me feel more committed to a solution, and it allows the Alzheimer’s Association to plan for the year ahead and allocate resources to necessary services/programs and research.”
Benefits of giving monthly
- It’s easy. The monthly amount you select is charged to your credit card automatically. You’re free to cancel at any time.
- It’s cost-effective. Your money goes further, because monthly giving reduces the need for regular appeals, saving money spent on printing and paper.
- It makes a difference. Your monthly donation will help us provide much-needed services to the individuals and families who are facing this disease, and advance research studies exploring methods of treatment, prevention and ultimately, a cure.
- It makes a statement. Become a monthly donor this January and you’ll receive an Alzheimer’s Association® tote bag that shows your support. Use it to carry groceries or anything else, in place of using plastic or paper bags!
Alzheimer’s is the sixth-leading cause of death in the U.S., but there is no way to prevent it, cure it, or slow its progression. Your monthly gift will provide funding we can rely on to advance the fight against Alzheimer’s. It’s a great way to start off the New Year.
