We are excited to announce that NARFE has a new goal, $14 million by 2020! We are so grateful for the support from NARFE and all of its members — thank you!
This month, the Alzheimer's Association released 2019 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures. Published annually, this report illustrates the devastating impact of Alzheimer's disease. Later this month, over 1,000 advocates will gather in Washington, D.C., for the Alzheimer's Impact Movement (AIM) Advocacy Forum. Together, we will urge Congress to continue to make Alzheimer's a national priority. The generosity of NARFE and its members helps make possible these and all of our efforts to end this disease. We are so grateful for your support.
