Supporting the Alzheimer's Association is one of our core causes - and for good reason. Alzheimer's and other dementias impact an estimated 300,000 Edward Jones clients, doubling what we estimated just a couple of year ago. More than 6 million Americans are living with the disease today. By 2050, this number is projected to rise to nearly 13 million. It's one of the most expensive disease, with a lifetime cost of care of more than $350,000. Alzheimer's disease is a clear and present threat to something we champion every day: protecting the wealth - and well-being - of our clients.
