Ways to fundraise
We ask each participant to set a $1,000 goal so together we can continue to make a significant impact and reach our goal of $250,000 to fight this horrible disease.
As with every Washburn Challenge, every dollar raised goes directly to the Alzheimer’s Association to fund their mission. Let's go!!!

Matching Gifts
Many employers offer programs to match charitable contributions made by their employees. These matching gifts are an opportunity to double or possibly triple your donation to Do What You Love to End ALZ and further increase funding for the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association.
Once the matching donation is received and processed by the Alzheimer's Association, the donation will be credited to the participant, team or event specified on the form. As some companies release matching funds on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis, please allow sufficient time for the contribution to be processed.
To find out if your company has a matching gift policy, please begin by typing your company's name below, select the company, and fill out the form.
Paper copy submissions - matching gifts
While many companies provide electronic applications for matching gifts, others require a paper form to be validated by the Alzheimer's Association. If your employer requires this paper form validation, please complete the appropriate section and send it to the address below. We will complete the form and forward it to your corporate matching gift office for processing.
