Reminder: Your gift can go twice as far – Alzheimer’s
I’m grateful for your support of the Alzheimer’s Association. Your generosity helps us provides care and support for the millions of people affected by Alzheimer’s disease this holiday season and advances research in our search for methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure.
Today, I’m thrilled to share another way you can show your commitment to the cause. Another generous matching gift donor has come forward, andwe need your help once again this holiday season. Carol-Ann was so moved by the response to her matching gift challenge last year that she has agreed to donate another $100,000 to the Alzheimer’s Association if we can raise that same amount by the end of the year.
You can make twice the impact when your gift goes twice as far.
$35 can become $70
$60 can become $120
$120 can become $240
Carol-Ann is making this matching gift in honor of her mother, who died with Alzheimer’s disease in 2001. “I think life is a gift — a gift of discovery and challenges and relationships,” she says. “It’s not fair that Alzheimer’s makes you lose your memories, who you are, where you’ve been, the contributions that you’ve made. As my mother progressed into the later stages, the blank look in her eyes just haunts me.”
Any amount you give will help us provide care and support this holiday season for people like Carol-Ann, her mother and their family. And it will help us advance cutting-edge research that could lead to methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure for Alzheimer’s.
Carol-Ann is passionate about finding the answers to Alzheimer’s — and I know you are, too. Please, make your year-end gift today and help us move one step closer to our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s disease. When you give before December 31, your tax-deductible donation of $35 can become $70, or your generous gift of $60 can become $120.
Carol-Ann explains, “Being a caregiver for my mom was hard. Thank goodness for the support system of the Association.” Please give generously today, so we can continue to be a vital resource for those who are affected by Alzheimer’s.
