It's time to fight — this $600,000 Matching Gift Challenge needs your support. [Alzheimer's Association]( [DONATE NOW]( [$600,000 Matching Gift Challenge]( Dear Friend, There are Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved treatments that can reduce cognitive and functional decline in people living with early Alzheimer's. They are the first wave of effective treatments for Alzheimer's, with more to come in the pipeline. [That makes our supporters history-makers, friend]( — and you can be one too. By joining the fight against Alzheimer's, you can help us fully realize this exciting new era in dementia science. In fact, this July, the FDA granted traditional approval of a drug that changes the underlying course of this disease for people living with early Alzheimer’s. While this moment is indeed encouraging, we can't let up the fight, even for a minute. Because when it comes to Alzheimer's, it's all about time. More treatments that target the disease from all angles are needed so that everyone living with Alzheimer's can get the treatment, care and support they need. Recent advances in treatments mark a tremendous step forward. But our work is far from done. We won't rest until everyone living with Alzheimer's can get the treatment, care and support they need and deserve. We need you with us today, tomorrow, and every day after that, to help us continue our work so we can give people more time and the care, support and education they need. Longtime supporters, Dick and Marianne Kipper, have graciously pledged the funds for our [$600,000 Matching Gift Challenge]( — because they understand the importance of this historic moment. Their gift will help fund critical Alzheimer's disease research, while your donation can be matched to help provide care and support and accelerate research. But first, we must raise the full $600,000 before our September 30 deadline.
