View it on your browser       Dear Tushar, Thank you so much for your past support of the Alzheimer's Association. I'm reaching out with a very exciting opportunity to make your gift go twice as far in the fight against Alzheimer's disease. A foundation, that wishes to remain anonymous, has agreed to give $600,000 to the Alzheimer's Association if we can raise that same amount by May 31.     Your gift today can be matched dollar for dollar: $35 → $70 $60 → $120 $120 → $240         This foundation has a long-standing history of supporting organizations that benefit and inspire local communities, and this gift will enhance our local care and support services. Your generous gift today can go twice as far toward our mission to eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. Our Spring Matching Gift Challenge is a critical opportunity to make one gift and have twice the impact. When you donate today, your gift of $35 can become $70, a gift of $60 can become $120 — or your especially generous gift of $120 can become $240. With more than 5 million people in the United States living with Alzheimer's disease, your support of this limited-time opportunity is so important. Please help us make our Spring Matching Gift Challenge a success with a generous donation today. Thank you. Sincerely,       Donna McCullough Chief Development Officer           P.S. Don't miss out.
