This year the Alzheimer’s Association strives to push its fundraising efforts to the next level in our first annual online auction “Rally for Research”. Each year, the Alzheimer’s Association celebrates its fundraising efforts across the country with its annual Galas in Chicago, Washington D.C., and New York. Though these efforts have raised more than $40 million for Alzheimer’s research there is a desperate need to continue to go further. While we have not found a cure to Alzheimer’s disease there is hope that with sufficient research investment preventing this disease or delaying its onset may be achievable within the next five years. The need to eradicate this devastating disease has never been greater. Currently some 4.5 million Americans have this disease—and current demographic trends could more than triple that number to 14 million by mid-century.

Through bidding on our unique experience packages in our “Rally for Research” you will have the opportunity to be a part of history in the making. We have rallied a host of entertainment and sports celebrities as well as one-of-a-kind experience packages for you to bid on to support our cause.

We believe major breakthroughs in Alzheimer’s disease prevention are in your foreseeable future. Support our research efforts in hopes of finding a cure to Alzheimer’s disease. We will stop at nothing to advance treatments and find a cure to this mind-robbing disease.
