View it in your browser Your gift can go twice as far.   $35 → $70 $60 → $120 $120 → $240 Dear Tushar, Together, we're working to end Alzheimer's disease — an urgent priority for affected families across our nation and the world — and every dollar counts.   That's why I hope you will join me in supporting our Fall 2017 Match Campaign. For a limited time, every dollar you give can be matched, to help reach our challenge goal of $100,000.   Debbie and Clay Jones, co-chairs of the Alzheimer's Association Zenith Society, have generously pledged $100,000 to the Association if we can raise that same amount by October 31. Their gift will support the Association's research efforts.   Please support this urgent campaign by giving now: Your gift of $35 can become $70. Your gift of $60 can become $120. Your extra-generous donation of $120 can be matched for $240 of critical impact. Any amount you give today can be matched, so please be as generous as you can. Your participation in this matching gift campaign creates hope. It provides funding for care, support and research at a critical time in the fight against Alzheimer's. It also honors all those who've been affected by this terrible, debilitating and fatal disease.   Tushar, your gift supports 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.   We have a challenge goal of $100,000 — but gifts can only be matched until October 31. To ensure your donation can be matched, please make your most generous gift now.   In the fight to end Alzheimer's, every dollar counts. So does every supporter. I want to thank you for the commitment you show and the generosity you provide. We can't succeed without you.   Sincerely, Donna McCullough Chief Development Officer          P.S. We only have a limited time to reach our challenge goal, and we are counting on you. Please donate generously, knowing every dollar you give can be matched.     Your donation will strengthen our efforts to advance Alzheimer's care, support and research. From face-to-face support to online education programs and promising global research initiatives, your gift makes a difference in the lives of all those affected by Alzheimer's and other dementias in your community and across the world.
