NARFE December 2024
This holiday season, and every season, we are grateful for NARFE's dedication and support in the fight to end Alzheimer's. Your steadfast commitment to defeat this disease means the world to us and to the nearly 7 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 a remarkable $80,436 to help advance Alzheimer's care, support and research. Last-minute Walk donations can be turned in through Dec. 31, so make one last push to get us over the $100,000 goal finish line. If you weren't able to join a team this year, you can still participate by making a gift directly to one of the NARFE teams. Thank you for your partnership and outstanding commitment to the Alzheimer's Association. We wish you a happy and healthy holiday season!
