A holiday message of thanks for the incredible impact you make possible.

Thank you for your generous and impactful support. [Alzheimer's Association]( [DONATE NOW]( [You make progress possible.]( Dear Friend, I'd like to take this opportunity to update you on our progress in the fight to end Alzheimer's and thank you for your inspiring commitment. On behalf of myself, the entire Alzheimer's Association community and the more than 6 million Americans living with Alzheimer's disease and their over 11 million caregivers, I want to thank you sincerely and wish you a happy holiday season and a hope-filled new year. At the Alzheimer's Association, we have a mission to lead the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia — by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support. But it isn't only our team, or dedicated scientists, making progress happen. It's your compassion as a community member that's ensuring vital research continues and care and support is available to those who need it. [We're making progress every day in this fight, and we're doing it thanks to friends like you.]( The care and support we provide and the research we're advancing is only possible thanks to this caring community. A future free from Alzheimer's would be one of the most meaningful gifts we could give each other, and I thank you for the commitment you make to our work throughout the year. [I'm pleased to say our 2022 Annual Report is now available for your review.]( In so many ways, it feels as if your impact is on every page. I'd like to share some highlights. With your help, we: - Provided care and support more than 7.1 million times through channels including [alz.org]( care consultations, support groups, education programs and information. - Answered nearly 240,000 calls through our 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900), offering free confidential support and information to people facing Alzheimer's and all other dementia. - Invested $90 million in Alzheimer's and dementia research, including more than $71 million in grants to new scientific investigations. - Advocated for an increase in Alzheimer's and dementia research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) of $289 million, bringing federal funding to more than $3.5 billion annually. - And many more milestones and achievements that you can read about in our [2022 Annual Report](. Our world has experienced changes over the past couple of years, but one thing hasn't changed: our determination to finding a cure for this dreaded disease. Through it all, you stood by us in our crucial work and your belief in our fight strengthens our unwavering commitment every day. Friend, as I write you today, the holiday season is underway. It's a joyful time for many of us as we see our family and friends and celebrate our traditions. But it can also be a difficult time for families, caregivers and individuals living with Alzheimer's. There may likely be families in your community struggling with such challenges. If this is true for you and your family, I offer you my compassion and encouragement. If you should ever need support, information or guidance, don't hesitate to call or reach out, any hour of every day. We're here for you. Our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900) is available 365 days a year — even during the holiday season. Our website, [alz.org]( is always available with helpful resources as is [Community Resource Finder]( an online tool that can help you find programs, support services, and housing options in your local community. The more we support each other, the stronger we all are. Thank you again. Happy holidays to you and yours. [Together, we can and will end Alzheimer's.]( With warm wishes, Liz Adams Chief Development Officer [Facebook]( [Twitter]( P.S.
