| Dear Friend,
This week, show your support of the fight against Alzheimer’s disease by going purple! Friday is
Alzheimer’s Action Day, an opportunity to support the Alzheimer’s Association® and help raise awareness
of this devastating disease during World Alzheimer’s Month.
On Sept. 21, wear purple, the color of the Alzheimer’s movement, to honor the more than 5 million
Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease and the millions more who care for them. Here are some ways
you can go purple and take action: |
|
 |
Wear your support!
Pull out your purple and wear it with pride. Need more gear?
• Check out our shirts, wrist bands and other purple items at Shop for a Cause.
• This month, CJ Free is proud to introduce a limited edition bracelet to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association. In recognition of World Alzheimer’s Month, 20% of the sales price of bracelets sold from now until September 30 will benefit the Association. |
|
|
 |
Make a winning bid!
Take part in two eBay auctions running through Sept. 27
to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association:
• Win a guitar signed by legendary singer Glen Campbell
- now touring the country - who is living with
Alzheimer’s disease.
• Meet Celebrity Champion Seth Rogen as a VIP guest
at the "Hilarity for Charity" fundraising event next spring. |
|
|
| In addition, eBay will feature the Alzheimer’s Association from September 17-23, and users will have
the option to donate $1 or more at checkout to the Alzheimer’s Association when buying and selling on eBay. |
|
 |
Watch “Who Wants to be a Millionaire!”
Watch the week of Sept. 17 to see contestants compete
on behalf of the Alzheimer’s Association. Spread the word
and ask your friends and family to tune in. |
|
|
 |
Share on social media!
Talk about World Alzheimer’s Month and Alzheimer’s Action
Day on your social networks. Turn Facebook purple by
changing your profile picture to our END ALZ icon. And
become a fan of the Alzheimer’s Association on Facebook,
follow us on Twitter, and join our community board on Pinterest. |
|
|
 |
Raise awareness!
Because of misinformation or confusion, some people may hold those with Alzheimer’s disease and their families at arm’s length. But by educating others about the reality of Alzheimer’s, we can dispel the misconceptions. Speak up and tell others why you support the cause. |
|
|
Whether you wear purple, take part in the eBay auctions or observe this special month in a way all your
own, we truly appreciate your support.
Thank you,
Angela Geiger
Chief Strategy Officer |
