With our Modern, Groundbreaking Approach to Eradicate the "Epidemic" of our Century...

WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!
A $20 Million Cash-Prize (Award) for the Alzheimer's Cure!

Please note: In some sites (such as Guidestar.org) you will find us listed as the Alzheimer's Prize Foundation for the Cure, Inc. The Alzheimer's CURE Foundation, Inc. and the Alzheimer's Prize Foundation for the Cure, Inc. are one and the same 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Thank you!

The Alzheimer's CURE Foundation, Inc. is a ground-breaking, innovative, history-making, public, non-profit, tax-exempt, 501 (c) (3) organization, with a huge vision and a unique strategy. Our mission is to dramatically accelerate a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. To accomplish this, we are introducing the concept of healthy and vibrant competition within the scientific/medical community with a major cash-prize at the "finish line". Our goal is to raise and award a $20,000,000 cash prize to the first scientist(s) who discover the cure for this insidious, mind-robbing, personality-hacking, disease - a powerful driving force toward an Alzheimer’s - free world.

You may donate specifically towards the Alzheimer's Prize (restricted, Prize-designated funds where we will only be able to utilize the interest towards our operating expenses and educational programs) by specifying on your check "For Alzheimer's Prize" and mailing it to the:

Alzheimer's Cure Foundation, Inc.
PO Box 2543
Providence, RI 02906


For more information, please call our office at 401-473-7019. We need your help in order to raise the prize money.

The Statistics

One out of every eight Americans aged 65 have Alzheimer's Disease. Those between the ages of 80 - 85 have about a 50% chance of developing this disease. Approximately 700,000 Americans have Early Onset Alzheimer's disease, a form of Alzheimer's that can strike as young as 40 or even younger. Today more than 5,000,000 Americans have Alzheimer's disease. These numbers are expected to triple within the coming years as Baby Boomers come of "Alzheimer's Age". The first Boomers turn 60 this year. No one is exempt from this brutally tragic disease - not even Presidents. Who, amongst us, can ever forget President Regean's heartbreaking letter to the American public announcing his Alzheimer's diagnosis? Who can forget how this witty, charming, charismatic and intelligent President disappeared from the public eye for an entire decade? It was President Regean who created awareness around Alzheimer's, took it out of hiding and made us face it. He made it a part of our vocabulary and brought it into our living rooms. It is up to us, now, to dramatically accelerate the cure for this gut-wrenching disease. We need your help.

We are Unique!

To our knowledge, we are the first to employ a major cash-prize in the field of medical research, specifically designated for a medical cure, to be awarded after the Alzheimer's cure is discovered. It should not be confused with anything any other organization is doing because no one else is employing our strategy. The Alzheimer's CURE Foundation, Inc. will serve as a catalyst that will spur Alzheimer's research to new heights!

This unique "Prize" model was responsible for the rapid development of aviation decades ago. Just recently, huge advances have been made to open up the cosmos with the “X-Prize", designed to promote space tourism. A $10,000,000 cash prize was awarded by the X-Prize Foundation in October 2004 after SpaceShipOne became the first privately financed spacecraft to fly into sub-orbit. We realized then that the same cash-prize concept can be applied to eradicate disease and save millions of lives. Together, we can change the world!

By adding a different, innovative dimension to the world of medical research and introducing the concept of healthy and vibrant competition, with a major cash prize at the "finish line" - a powerful driving force towards the cure - the ultimate benefits to all of humankind will be immeasurable.

How will Baby Boomers "Redefine Retirement"? Alzheimer's Prize Foundation for the Cure

Each time you turn on the TV you hear of how Baby Boomers will redefine retirement. For sure this generation will not suffice to sit in a rocking chair watching TV or playing bingo. Boomers really do have dreams to realize and, obviously, they take wise financial planning with the help of a knowledgeable financial professional. However, what good is all the money in the world if you are confined within 4 walls, not knowing where you are, who you are and how those faces that show up every once in a while to visit are related to you? The only way for Baby Boomers to maximize their potential to be in a position where they can enjoy their hard-earned savings and their years of financial planning is by contributing to the Alzheimer's Prize Foundation for the Cure, Inc. and helping make Alzheimer's a disease of the past. The cure for Alzheimer's disease will automatically open the door towards the cure for all the other neurodegenerative diseases as well as all other forms of dementia. Together we can do it!

You Can Help!

It is only through your contributions that we can realize this dream so that no one ever again will mourn a loss from the degenerative effects of Alzheimer’s Disease. By donating to us, you will not only enjoy tax benefits, but also make the best investment ever in your future and that of your loved ones. In addition to donations through paypal, you may also mail your checks to our address:
PO Box 2543, Providence, RI, 02906. Please make your check payable to the: Alzheimer Cure Foundation, Inc. All donations, both big and small, are appreciated and welcome.


The Cure Will Benefit All Ages: From Preemies, Infants and Children to Adults

Although immensely significant in and of itself, the cure for Alzheimer’s will go way beyond that. The door towards a cure will open wide for so many other neurodegenerative disease and neurological disorders that affect people of all ages: from preemies and infants to children with autism and other neurological and brain-related disorders, to adults with Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Huntington’s, Lou Gehrig’s, as well stroke-related brain damage and other disorders because they are all inter-related. The cure will also address all the other forms of dementia. This one prize will ultimately impact the cure for so many dreaded diseases.
