As the holiday season approaches, we’re reminded of the power of community, compassion, and giving. This GivingTuesday – December 2 – we invite you to stand with us in the fight to improve brain health for all, and end Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
The Need Is Greater Than Ever
Today, more than 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s and nearly 12 million family members and friends provide care, often at great personal and financial cost. Here in North Carolina, more than 210,000 people are living with the disease, supported by 381,000 caregivers.
Why Your Support Matters
The Alzheimer’s Association leads the way to improve brain health for all and end Alzheimer’s and all other dementia – by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support.
