Today is the final day of our 2026 Summer Annual Fund Drive! Your decision to join the fight can change someone's day, or even their future. Right now, Alzheimer's disease is quietly entering homes, reshaping lives in ways no one can prepare for. Your first gift can help provide care and support, as well as advance critical research. But time is running out, so please don't miss your LAST CHANCE to make your first gift before MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.
It's important to me that I reach out one final time because the need to fight back is urgent. More people are being diagnosed each day, and with each passing moment, we all become more at risk. Your first gift today helps support key priorities like:
Providing care and support, including our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900). Staffed by master's-level dementia experts, the Helpline received over 204,000 calls and online chats last year, assisting those in crisis as well as helping address the ongoing needs of people impacted by Alzheimer's.
Advancing critical Alzheimer's and dementia research through our active and committed funding in more than 1,220 projects in 59 countries so that, one day, we may realize our vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia.
Strengthening diversity, equity and inclusion by addressing disparities and creating culturally appropriate resources for impacted communities.
Supporting research studies, including those that are building a clearer picture of brain health, and healthy habits we can incorporate into our daily lives that can help lower our risk of cognitive decline and potentially developing Alzheimer's and other dementia.
Advocating to keep Alzheimer's research, care and support at the forefront for national policymakers. Alzheimer's Association advocacy efforts were instrumental in the passage of the NAPA Reauthorization Act and the Alzheimer's Accountability and Investment Act — two pieces of critical bipartisan legislation that support Alzheimer's research and improve the delivery of clinical care and services for those impacted by the disease.
I hope I can count on you to join the fight at this critical time to help further our mission to lead the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia — by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support.
Sincerely,
Katie Evans
Chief Programs and Mission Engagement Officer
