The Greater
Kentucky & Southern Indiana Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association
"NARFE's fundraising has truly been a grassroots effort,"
said Sheldon Goldberg, president and CEO of the Alzheimer's Association.
"NARFE members have been active in their communities organizing fundraising
activities, such as coin drops and raffle ticket sales, that have added
up to a remarkable donation. Their commitment to the Alzheimer cause for
nearly 20 years has helped the Alzheimer's Association fund vital research
into the causes, prevention, treatment, and cure of Alzheimer's disease."
Currently, four million Americans are diagnosed with Alzheimer's
disease and that number is expected to surge as 76 million baby boomers
reach the age of greatest risk in 2011.
NARFE made its first pledge to the association in 1986
to create a research endowment of $500,000, and fulfilled that commitment
in 1988. The organization then pledged another $500,000, fundraising for
which was completed in 1991. Having raised $1million, NARFE became a charter
member of the Alzheimer's Association's Zenith Fellows, a premier
group of donors of $1 million to Alzheimer research.
Buoyed by its success, NARFE completed a second $1 million campaign, and
in 1996 launched the "Target 2000 Fund" to raise a third $1 million by
2000. In January 1999, NARFE began another campaign to bring its cumulative
fundraising for the Alzheimer's Association to"$5 million by 2005." The
new campaign was so successful by September 2002, NARFE announced at its
27th National Convention that the pledge would be increased by an additional
$2 million, bringing the cumulative donation to "$7 million in 2007."
"NARFE is proud to have reached the $5 million goal two
years early," said Charles L. Fallis, NARFE national president. "Raising
money for Alzheimer's is a 'labor of love' for our members. So many of
them have a spouse, relative or good friend impacted by this horrible disease
that, helping to find a cure is a natural response. Thanks to thousands
of NARFE members, we get closer to the goal of finding a cure each day."
NARFE contributions have supported 24 research projects
since 1988, including studies on brain imaging, and the role genetics and
vascular factors may play in the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
The National Association of Retired Federal Employees
(NARFE) is the only association dedicated to protecting the earned retirement
benefits of federal employees, retirees and their survivors. Founded by
14 federal workers in 1921, NARFE has become an effective and highly respected
legislative voice for federal workers and retirees. Membership has grown
to nearly 400,000 federal, District of Columbia, and postal employees,
retirees, spouses, and survivors united to preserve the economic security
and well-being of federal employees on the job and in retirement. For more
