Announcing 📣 NEW Matching Gift Challenge

Our NEW $600,000 Matching Gift Challenge starts today. [Alzheimer's Association]( [DONATE NOW]( [$600,000 Matching Gift Challenge]( Dear Friend, Alzheimer's disease is a thief. It steals memories, independence and, ultimately, life. But hope is on the horizon. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has now approved two treatments that reduce cognitive and functional decline for those living with early Alzheimer's. These are the first wave of effective treatments for Alzheimer's that can slow cognitive and functional decline for some people living with early Alzheimer's. We're fighting to ensure access for everyone who could benefit from these treatments — and your support is crucial. While this is a tremendous step forward, the Alzheimer's Association's work is far from done. We won't rest until everyone living with Alzheimer's — at any stage — can get the treatment, care and support they need and deserve. That's why I'm excited to announce a [special, new opportunity for you to double your impact in the fight to end Alzheimer's](. Longtime supporters and Alzheimer's Association Zenith Society members, Dick and Marianne Kipper, have pledged to match every donation we receive by September 30 — up to a total of $600,000 to support Alzheimer's research — if we can raise the same amount by the deadline. [This means, by making your first gift today to our $600,000 Matching Gift Challenge, your support can go TWICE as far.]( Join our $600,000 Matching Gift Challenge and see how far your gift can go. [$16 can become $32.]( [$30 can become $60.]( [$50 can become $100.]( [Double my impact now.]( With the Kippers' matching gift and your generous donation today, your support can go twice as far to help provide care and support and accelerate research — that can lead to breakthrough treatments. This July, the FDA granted traditional approval of lecanemab (Leqembi®) for the treatment of early Alzheimer's disease. This is the first Alzheimer's treatment granted traditional approval that can change the underlying course of the disease. Each new breakthrough brings hope to individuals coping with this disease, which is why we won't stop until there is a cure. Today, more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's — and 1 in 3 seniors will die with this terrible disease. The impact on lives, families and loved ones is devastating. [With your support — which can be matched today to go 2X as far — we can turn the tide.]( There couldn't be a more ideal time to join our community of supporters. [Donate Now]( With your help, the Alzheimer's Association pushes forward in our 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. [Your first gift can be matched today and can help us continue to:]( - Identify treatment strategies in an increasingly robust treatment pipeline, including combining diverse approaches into combination therapies — because more treatments that target the disease from all angles are needed. - Increase public understanding of Alzheimer's disease by helping families across the nation realize the importance of early detection and the benefits it can have on their lives with the advent of these new treatments. - Improve care and support for people living with dementia, as well as for their families, and ensure the voices of people with Alzheimer's are heard. - Further our knowledge about ongoing studies to address brain health and disease prevention through studies such as our landmark U.S. POINTER clinical trial designed to evaluate how interventions that simultaneously target multiple risk factors may protect cognitive function in older adults who are at increased risk for cognitive decline.
