Free License Plate Reservation – Claim yours today!

The free license plate reservation offer is almost over and we only have until the end of 2016 to reach our goal. Currently collected reservations are 1,200 out of the 1,500 needed and if successful, Illinois will be the first state in the country to have an #ENDALZ license plate! Help us cross the finish line by signing up for your free plate reservation today!

Background

Alzheimer’s Association license plates are coming to Illinois. This is a incredible opportunity to raise funds as well as the profile of this critical cause and, in turn, mobilize our leaders in government and citizens to prioritize Alzheimer’s.

Funds generated by orders of the license plates aid the Alzheimer’s Association Illinois Chapter Network in its mission to provide care, support, education and awareness programs throughout the state. After the initial year, $23 of the annual $25 renewal fee goes directly to the Alzheimer’s Association.

Reservation Details

We’ve had fantastic success with our license plate during June, but still have a way to go, so we will waive the registration fee for a little longer. Register now to reserve your #ENDALZlicense plate, free of charge!

She’ll explain the research behind the program, to give a better understanding of how and why it works and then take attendees through some interactive exercises to demonstrate the most effective types of mental work-outs.

Dear Zoltan,
Don’t miss this limited-time chance to take advantage of our special Matching Gift Challenge and help make twice the impact as we advance Alzheimer’s disease care, support and research. If you know someone who has been affected by Alzheimer’s, this is also a great opportunity to make your contribution an honor or memorial gift — and double your support in their name.
A family foundation that wishes to remain anonymous has generously offered to match every gift we receive to this Matching Gift Challenge by October 31 — up to $100,000.
That means that your tax-deductible donation today of $35 can become $70 — or your especially generous gift of $60 can become $120.
Any amount you give to the Alzheimer’s Association through this limited-time Matching Gift Challenge can go twice as far to advance research initiatives and provide important care and support services to people living with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers. Please help us bring an end to this cruel and fatal disease by making a generous gift today.

P.S. You can choose to make your donation to our Matching Gift Challenge in honor of a friend or family member. We only have until October 31 — so please don’t wait to make TWICE the impact today.
