The Giving Spirit
Information for Families
We are sorry for your loss. We wish you strength and comfort through this difficult time.We hope you consider directing donations to the Alzheimer's Association in memory of your loved one. The Alzheimer's Association leads the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support.
When a loved one passes away, their spirit can be memorialized by including verbiage in their obituary that directs donations to the Alzheimer’s Association. An example of this verbiage is:
In lieu of flowers, please join us in making a donation to the Alzheimer’s Association online at alz.org or by mail to 320 Nevada St. Suite 201, Newton, MA 02460.
To Make an Online Donation in Someone's Memory Click Here or send a check to 320 Nevada St. Suite 201, Newton, MA 02460 noting the name of your loved one.
If a donation is made of $350 or more, your loved one's name will appear on the Giving Spirit wall at our headquarters in Newton, MA. This display is a constant inspiration for people who visit our office each day. We are reminded why we strive to secure a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.
Each year, we bring together the family members of those honored on the display to celebrate their caregivers, remember those we have lost, and honor supporters of the Alzheimer's Association. As a spirit contributor, you will be invited to this annual event. Private viewing is also available for those who cannot attend by contacting Adrienne Ross at 617-393-2092 or alross@alz.org.
