And now, there is even more reason to give, because when you make a donation, your gift can go twice as far in the fight against Alzheimer's disease with this special matching gift challenge.   Longtime Alzheimer's Association supporter Cheryl Gross has made a pledge to give an exceptionally generous $1 million to the Association if we can raise that same amount by December 15. Cheryl is passionate about fighting Alzheimer's and was inspired to make this generous gift in honor of her mother, who died from Alzheimer's in 2011.   Your tax-deductible year-end donation of $35 can become $70, $60 can become $120 or $120 can become $240.   And when you make a gift, please share this special #GivingTuesday opportunity on social media, and tag #GivingTuesday and #EndALZ in your Facebook and Twitter posts.   Any amount you give by December 15 will support Alzheimer's research, care and support. Your gift will move us even closer to our vision of a world without Alzheimer's disease. So please take advantage of this special matching gift challenge — and #GivingTuesday — and give today.   Many thanks, Donna McCullough Chief Development Officer          P.S. Celebrate #GivingTuesday with your donation to the Alzheimer's Association and make twice the impact on Alzheimer's disease.     Your donation will strengthen our efforts to advance Alzheimer's care, support and research.
