This Matching Gift Challenge is made possible by Vicky Patel, who has agreed to donate $1,000,000 to the Alzheimer's Association if we are able to raise the same amount by December 31, 2018. Her gift will support the Association's research efforts in U.S. POINTER, a lifestyle intervention trial to support brain health and prevent cognitive decline.

All individual donations received in response to the challenge match offer will go to further 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. For all challenge match campaigns, donor dollars are matched until the goal or the deadline has been reached, whichever comes first.
