BIG 35 END ALZ

By Sarah Ko Join Me

All I want for My 35th Birthday is a cure but $3,500 will have to do 💜

Birthdays have always been one of my favorite times of year. I love stretching the celebration out over the entire month and gathering with friends and family I care about, reflecting on another trip around the sun, and finding meaningful ways to give back.

This year, as I celebrate turning 35, I'm asking for something bigger than gifts. In honor of my mom and grandmother, my birthday wish is to raise $3,500 for the Alzheimer's Association to support research, care, and the hope of one day finding a cure.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Seattle friends and family, we've already raised $1,550 toward this goal. I created this page to gather additional support. 

And there's even more reason to give now: every donation made during my Birthday Month (July 6-31) will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $2,500. That means your gift can have twice the impact.

Whether you give $35, $50, $100, or any amount that's meaningful to you, every dollar brings us one step closer to a world without Alzheimer's.

Thank you for helping make my birthday about something that matters so deeply to me. Together, we can celebrate 35 years while creating hope for countless families facing this disease.

Let's make the BIG 35 count. 💜

Thank you to all our supporters
