Dear Friend,
More than 5 million people are living with Alzheimer's disease in the United States, and someone develops the disease every 66 seconds. That's why we need your help now, more than ever.
Today, you can provide twice as much help and hope to those affected by Alzheimer's with a donation to our matching gift challenge. The Kahlert Family Foundation has agreed to give $210,000 to the Alzheimer's Association if we can raise that same amount. Greg and Roberta Kahlert are committed to the Association's work to advance research while providing care and support to those living with the disease today.
The cause is personal to Greg, who wonders if the memory loss he noticed in his late grandmother may have been Alzheimer's or another dementia. As the Kahlerts explain, "We realize the magnitude of the disease and how it impacts so many families through long-term health consequences and ongoing costs. We feel very strongly about supporting the Alzheimer's Association because we want to fund both research and care and support programs."
Your donation today can double efforts to advance research toward methods of prevention and treatment, as well as enhance care and support services for all those affected. Your gift of $35 can become $70, a gift of $60 can become $120 — or your especially generous gift of $120 can become $240.
Any amount you donate can be matched dollar for dollar — up to $210,000 — so please give generously today while you can make twice the impact. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Donna McCullough
Chief Development Officer
