alzheimer’s disease touches millions of lives – it’s a growing epidemic

working together toward a world without alzheimer’s

who is affected• More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease.

• More than 15 million Americans care for an individual with Alzheimer’s or another dementia.

• Women, African Americans and Hispanics are most likely to be affected by Alzheimer’s and related dementias.

alzheimer’s in the workplace• 64% of caregivers are currently employed.

• 54% of employed caregivers reported having to work late, leave early or take time off due to caregiver demands.

the cost of alzheimer’s• In 2014, Alzheimer’s and other dementias are projected to cost the

nation $214 billion.

• Many families drain their savings to provide care.

the numbers are increasing• As many as 16 million people will be living with Alzheimer’s disease

by 2050 — triple the number today.

• The costs of Alzheimer’s in 2050 are estimated to total $1.2 trillion (in today’s dollars).

Currently, there is no way to prevent, cure or slow the progression of Alzheimer’s — a disease that each year kills more Americans than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.

Scientists believe we are now at the tipping point. We have the ideas, the technology and the will. Now we need the support.

As the world’s leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s care, support and research, the Alzheimer’s Association is mobilizing public support while investing in research that will help us realize our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s.

“We are so grateful to our dedicated sponsors and other partners for sharing our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s — and for financially investing in Alzheimer’s care, support and research efforts. Working together, our shared vision will become reality.”

Tracy Morgan Executive Director Alzheimer’s Association Oregon Chapter

the time is now for corporate leadership

a holistic partnership strategy

By partnering with the Alzheimer’s Association, your company can have a profound impact on the movement to end Alzheimer’s.

You can stand up as a leader in the battle against this disease and demonstrate to employees who are caregivers that you are making an active effort to ease their burden. Additionally, your support can further establish your organization as a good corporate citizen that supports an issue that touches many lives in a deeply personal way.

empower: Provide your employees with Alzheimer’s information and offer support services to those living with or caring for someone with the disease.

engage: Help us engage the public in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease.

support: Donate to the cause or sponsor an event.

The Alzheimer’s Association offers our corporate partners a variety of ways to engage in a meaningful, multifaceted collaboration. Opportunities include but are not limited to:

educate and empower employees• Join the Alzheimer’s Workplace Alliance (AWA).

• Include the Alzheimer’s Association in your workplace giving campaign.

• Encourage participation in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

• Offer employees volunteer opportunities.

mobilize the public through consumer outreach• Highlight Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month in June by

showing the power of purple.

• Partner with the Alzheimer’s Association to sell a product or service and donate a portion of the proceeds to the cause.

sponsor and be recognized as a good corporate citizen• Support critical events, programs and services through your

organization’s philanthropy efforts.

• Sponsor special events, such as the McGinty Conference on Alzheimer’s Disease, the Memories in the Making Art Auction and the Walk to End Alzheimer’s®.

“It has been an honor to not only participate in, but to also sponsor, the Walk for the past 13 years. Frontier Management is proud to be an advocate of this energizing cause – raising awareness and being a part of the change.”

Greg Roderick CEO, Frontier Management

Why Should My Company Participate?

• Alzheimer’s costs American businesses $61 billion a year in health care expenses and lost productivity due to caregiver absenteeism.

• According to the Society for Human Resource Management, nearly 6 out of 10 individuals caring for an aging loved one work full time.

• 78% of consumers are more likely to buy a product or patronize a business that is associated with a favored cause.

• 66% of consumers would switch brands to support a preferred cause.

Join us for a benefit dinner, live auction and silent auction highlighting our Memories in the Making art program.

Memories in the Making® resulted from the exploration of the use of art as an alternative form of expression for people with dementia. While Alzheimer’s disease brings constant reminders of failures

and losses, Memories in the Making provides a nonjudgmental environment in which participants can express their feelings. The focus is on the process rather than the product, allowing people with dementia to experience moments of joy and a renewed sense of accomplishment and self-respect.

APRIL 30, 2015Individual ticket price: $90 | Early-bird ticket price: $80 | VIP Package: $175

VIP package includes ticket to event, two raffle tickets, and entry into the grand-prize drawing. For questions about sponsorship for this event, please contact Amy Schmidt: amy@retirementconnection.com.

“Central Mexico” was painted by Patrick Fleming, an artist in the Alzheimer’s Association Memories in the Making® art program.

Walk to End Alzheimer’sSeptember 13, 2015

The Walk to End Alzheimer’s® provides an opportunity for the Alzheimer’s community — family and professional caregivers, those diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, people who have lost a loved one to Alzheimer’s and those who know Alzheimer’s could impact them at any time during their lives — to come together with one voice and say that now is the time to fight back.

The Walk offers the community a chance to see the courage and beauty of people who are fighting a disease that will ultimately win. It offers hope that in the near future, this disease will not be victorious — it will be treatable and, eventually, curable. Most important, the Walk to End Alzheimer’s® brings people who are in the midst of an incredibly isolating disease the chance to see they are not alone.

Our 2015 Walks will be held in Albany, Bend, Eugene, Medford, Portland and Roseburg.W

Working Together Toward a World Without Alzheimer’s

Unless we take action now, the rising death rates from Alzheimer’s will continue unabated into the future. Currently, there is no way to prevent, cure or slow the progression of Alzheimer’s — a disease that each year kills more Americans than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.

Scientists believe we are at a tipping point. We have the ideas, the technology and the will — now we need the support.

As the world’s leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s care, support and research, the Alzheimer’s Association is mobilizing public support while investing in research that will help us realize our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s. To most effectively reach those affected by Alzheimer’s, we:

• Work with our corporate partners to educate, empower and support employees who are also caregivers.

• Provide companies with accessible information and tools to actively engage their employees in the fight, including volunteer opportunities.

• Offer opportunities to raise funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research.
