Collective action for Alzheimer's, meaningful impact for the world
World Alzheimer's Day — Sept. 21 — is a global effort to raise awareness and challenge the stigma around Alzheimer's and other dementia.

Whether you fundraise for the cause, share information about Alzheimer's or talk to a loved one about dementia, you can make a difference.
From now until midnight on Sept. 21, your gift can go twice as far to fuel crucial research for tomorrow's breakthroughs, promote brain health and help provide care and support for those facing this disease today.

"We can sit in our grief, or we can make a difference. I'm excited about the effect being involved has had on my life, the people I've met, stories and experiences we've shared, and, most importantly, the difference we're making in Washington and the impact that is having on millions of families."
— Stephanie, who started advocating for change after losing her mother-in-law to dementia
