We're honoring dads and changing lives this Father's Day.
Let's Celebrate Fathers Everywhere
Dear Friend,
Today, we honor dads, grandfathers and all of the special father figures who have made an impact on our lives.
While many of us will gather to celebrate, we recognize that this can be an especially difficult day for many — particularly for those who have lost a dad or grandfather to Alzheimer's disease. If you're thinking of such a father figure today, our hearts are with you. We will always honor and cherish our loved ones and those we have lost. As we continue the fight against Alzheimer's, they remain a key motivator in our work.
We also fight on behalf of the men who are facing the challenges of Alzheimer's today. As I write this email, there are more than 2.8 million men age 65 and older who are living with Alzheimer's in the United States — and millions more are at risk. With your support, we're accelerating critical research, as well as providing care and support to all who have been impacted by this devastating disease.
With the number of Alzheimer's diagnoses on the rise, many men are taking on the role of caregiver. We're so grateful for their dedication and compassion, and for the generosity of all those who 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.
Thanks to your support of our community, we're able to address our key priorities to:
Provide support to individuals and caregivers through our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900) and online resources at alz.org, like our ALZNavigator™ tool, ALZConnected® and links to resources in your community — addressing barriers to conversations either with a loved one or about their own thinking and memory with their health care providers.
Drive scientific progress through our current investment in more than 1,150 active best-of-field projects in 57 countries — including new strategies for earlier diagnosis.
Advocate for public policy that will increase federal research funding and persuade lawmakers to make the fight against Alzheimer's a national priority.
Our work is far from done, Friend. For fathers and families everywhere, we vow to continue this critical work until everyone living with dementia of any kind — at any stage — can get the treatment, care and support they need and deserve.
Thank you to all the amazing men in our lives — especially those we call dad. And thank you for your commitment in the fight against Alzheimer's.
Gratefully,
Michael Reich
Chief Marketing Officer
P.S. Dads teach us to help and inspire others. Today, you can make them proud by making 3X the difference in the fight with your first gift during Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month. This special opportunity to bring three times the help and hope to those impacted by Alzheimer's is made possible thanks to a generous donor who wishes to remain anonymous. They have pledged to triple-match all gifts, up to $183,000 in support of research — but only if we can reach this goal by midnight June 16. I hope you'll commemorate Father's Day with a gift in honor of a special man in your life. Thank you.
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. Thank you for your continued support.
