As we watch the seconds wind down on New Year’s Eve, it’s a reminder that someone in America develops Alzheimer’s disease every 68 seconds — and by 2050, someone will develop the disease every 33 seconds. This staggering statistic can be changed with your help.
Generous donors Lance and Brenda Feis want to do their part by giving the Alzheimer’s Association $10,000 if weraise the same amount online by December 31, 2013.
Brenda’s father, Frank Hofman, passed away in 2010 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Frank immigrated to the United States when he was young and worked hard as a butcher to make a life for his family. Today, Lance and Brenda are making this important matching challenge gift in his honor.
Your tax-deductible year-end donation of $50 can become $100, or a gift of $100 can become $200. Any amount you give by December 31, 2013 can help us continue to advance vital research and enhance care and support for all those affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
Time is running out to make a tax-deductible contribution in 2013. Please help us take advantage of this matching gift challenge and make your donation by December 31, 2013.
