NARFE December
As we close out 2022, it's the perfect time to share our gratitude for NARFE's dedication and support in the fight against Alzheimer's. Your determination to help defeat the disease means so much to us, the more than 6 million Americans living with Alzheimer's and their over 11 million caregivers.
So far this year, passionate NARFE Walk to End Alzheimer's® teams have raised an incredible $76,175 to help advance Alzheimer's care, support and research — thank you! And there's still time to get your last-minute donations in — funds are collected until Dec. 31. These dollars are essential to improving the lives of people living with Alzheimer's, their families and caregivers by helping fund resources like our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900). Because of you, we're there to help.
Thank you again for your partnership in the fight to end Alzheimer's. We're so grateful for you and wish you a joyful and healthy new year.
