Sept. 21st is World Alzheimer's Day

Letter from The Alzheimer's Association:

Dear Ricardo,

Our heartfelt thanks go out to all who took part in our World Alzheimer's Day Matching Gift Challenge, and made it such a resounding success!

We raised over $500,000 to help us advance our mission to fight Alzheimer's disease. If you donated during the Challenge, thank you. If not, you can still make a generous gift to the Alzheimer's Association to help us do even more to realize our dream of a world without Alzheimer's disease!

Ricardo, World Alzheimer's Day only comes once a year on September 21, but our fight against this terrible disease goes on every day… We need your generous support to help us do even more to bring about additional Alzheimer research, enhanced care and support programs and increased advocacy and awareness.

So please, send a generous gift today and join our fight to defeat Alzheimer's, the sixth leading cause of death in America

Thanks again for answering our urgent plea in commemoration of World Alzheimer's Day on September 21, when the world comes together to voice concern and need for more vital Alzheimer research and essential support programs and services, and to spread awareness and demand action against this devastating disease.

Sincerely,
Angela Geiger
Vice President
Alzheimer's Association
