Your gift can be matched if you give right now – Alzheimer’s Association
Last week, I wrote to you about a critical giving opportunity. Our generous supporter, Vicky Patel, has agreed to give the Alzheimer’s Association an astonishing $1 million if we raise that same amount by December 15.
This matching gift challenge is a unique chance for your donation to have twice the impact. Your tax-deductible year-end donation of $35 can become $70, or a gift of $60 can become $120.
Vicky’s father recently passed away. He inspired her to do everything she can to help fight Alzheimer’s disease: “Alzheimer’s is heartbreaking. It robbed him of knowing the names of his children, his address, the ability to have a conversation.”
Your donation can go twice as far!
$35 can become $70
$60 can become $120
$120 can become $240
But there were some bright moments. Before he passed, she told her father about this million-dollar gift and her passionate involvement with the Association. “I know treatments and a cure will come too late for my dad. I’m OK with that. I have to be. But I made him proud, and I know that because he told me. As I hugged him goodbye after a visit, he pulled me close and whispered, ‘Don’t give up.’ And then he kissed me.”
We urgently need you to give today to help families who depend on our support services and programs, and to advance research that offers the hope of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure. But we only have until December 15 to meet this exceptional matching gift. Your gift can have twice the impact on our care and support, research and advocacy efforts.
So please give generously today, and help us put an end to the Alzheimer’s epidemic.
P.S. We wish you and your family a happy Thanksgiving and encourage you to give today while your donation can have twice the impact. During this season of gratitude, please know how much we appreciate your support.
