Dear,
Weddings, graduations, proms… spring is a season of special milestones. Now, the Alzheimer’s Association® and three generous donors want to help people hold on to these memories. We need your help to meet this $700,000 Gift Challenge!
These three benefactors – the Johnston Family and the Simmons Foundation of Missouri, the Borman Family of Maine and the Cahn Family of New York – have agreed to collectively give $700,000 to the Alzheimer’s Association if we can raise this same amount by June 15.
While this opportunity ends soon, you still have time to make a gift that will further our mission and have twice the impact in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. Your gift of $25 can become $50, and $50 can double to $100, if we receive it by June 15 and haven’t yet met the match.
This Gift Challenge is a special giving opportunity – but like spring, it lasts just a short time. Please show your support and make your donation today.
Thank you,
Angela Geiger
Chief Strategy Officer
