There is a day for giving thanks, and now there is a day dedicated to giving back. December 1 marks the fourth year of Giving Tuesday, a global day of charitable giving. Thanks to our generous donor, Vicky Patel, your donation on Giving Tuesday can go twice as far. She's agreed to give the Association $1 million if we can raise the same amount by December 31.
Giving Tuesday is fueled by the power of social media and by people just like you. Donate in the spirit of giving this season and share why you give with the hashtags#ENDALZ and#GivingTuesday. Join this global movement and support the fight to end Alzheimer's by sharing your photos on Twitter and Instagram!
