We need to change these statistics – Alzheimer’s Association
As the year winds down, consider these sobering statistics: In 2013, more than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease. By 2050, the number of people age 65 and older with Alzheimer’s may nearly triple to a projected 13.8 million.
We know donors like you are committed to changing those numbers because we met the $10,000 challenge match generously sponsored by the Feis family! Now, Vicki Bever Cox and her husband, David Cox, have offered to give the Alzheimer’s Association an additional $10,000 if we raise the same amount by December 31, 2013.
Please help us take advantage of this important matching gift challenge.
Vicki’s father, Ellis Bever, had Alzheimer’s disease, as did Ellis’ mother and brother. Ellis was a brilliant lawyer who recognized what was happening to him long before the rest of his family. Vicki’s mother began donating to the Alzheimer’s Association in his honor, and now Vicki and David are pleased to continue her support of our vital work.
Your gift of $50 can become $100; $100 can become $200 – any amount you give can go twice as far in the fight against Alzheimer’s. Together, we can change the future of this disease.
Please make your tax-deductible gift by December 31, 2013.
