A third donor just stepped up with another year-end matching gift challenge! Abbe Sue Rubin will donate $25,000 to the Alzheimer’s Association if we can raise that same amount online by December 31. I can’t think of a better time to make a donation to the Alzheimer’s Association.
The generosity doesn’t stop there. A second donor just stepped up with another year-end matching gift challenge! Both Tina and Karl Weber have been long-time supporters of the Alzheimer’s Association, and this year marks the THIRD year in a row that they have graciously offered a matching gift challenge.
Abbe’s passion for fighting Alzheimer’s disease led her to the Association’s Western and Central Washington State Chapter where she volunteers and serves as the chapter board’s treasurer. Her gift will support public policy initiatives.
A retired statistician, Abbe wants to change the trajectory of Alzheimer’s alarming numbers:
· Someone in America develops Alzheimer’s every 68 seconds
· More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s, and that number is growing rapidly
· One in eight Americans over the age of 65 has the disease
Alzheimer’s is the sixth-leading cause of death in the U.S. and the only cause of death among the top 10 that can’t be prevented, cured or even slowed
|
Abbe knows firsthand the terrible toll Alzheimer’s can take on an individual and his or her family. “Onward!”, her rallying cry, is an inspirational call to action in the fight against this devastating disease. Zoltan, there are only four days left in 2012 to make a tax-deductible contribution – and your donation can have twice the impact thanks to Abbe’s gift. Don’t let the year end without taking a stand against Alzheimer’s. Please give as generously as you can. Thank you,
P.S. There are just a few days left in the year. Don’t miss this chance to make a gift that can make double the impact and receive a charitable deduction on your 2012 tax return. Give today. |
