This Matching Gift Challenge is possible thanks to Jane and Fred Schmidt. They have generously pledged $75,000 to the Alzheimer's Association for matching all gifts, up to that amount, from our community of supporters by October 14 and their gift will support Alzheimer's disease research efforts.

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.
