Our Campaign:

The scientists we fund under the direction of Nobel laureate Dr. Paul Greengard are on the brink of exciting new discoveries.  Dr. Greengard has authored almost 1,000 scientific publications. And when he gets excited about a new discovery – so do we.  Alzheimer’s is a terrible disease.  It robs it victims of their memories in what should be the golden years of their live. 

The need for your support is as urgent as the biological studies being conducted by Dr. Greengard and his internationally renowned team of scientists.  That is why we are making sure every dollar you raise for this campaign, that’s 100%, goes directly to their research.

Alzheimer's Disease Cause, Care, & Cure

There is hope. New effective Alzheimer's treatments are just around the corner, and the Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research is the world’s largest research team leading the battle.

Alzheimer's Couple
  • 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's
  • 360,000 new Alzheimer's cases will be diagnosed this year
  • Hundreds of thousands of people will die from Alzheimer's disease this year
  • By 2050, between 11.2 and 16 million Americans will have Alzheimer's disease
  • Tens of millions more Americans are affected as caregivers and family

The cruelty of Alzheimer's disease is that it attacks the brain, profoundly altering who we are.  It steals from us our most basic functions and fundamentals pleasures at the very time when we should be enjoying the fruits of life-long labor.  As our society ages, and more people are afflicted with Alzheimer's, the need to hunt down and stop this killer disease in its tracks has never been greater.  Join our team in the fight against Alzheimer's.
