This GivingTuesday 3X Matching Gift Challenge is made possible by the Samuels Family Foundation in Texas, which has pledged to triple match donations to this challenge, up to $400,000, until December 3. Their gift will support the Alzheimer's Association International Research Grant Program (IRGP) to advance promising Alzheimer's research. The Samuels family is moved to contribute to the Alzheimer's Association in honor of their patriarch, Vic Samuels.

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

Your gift may be tax-deductible if you itemize your deductions and meet the federal requirements.
