Through Our Signature Event, Battle for the Brain, Daughters Against Alzheimer's is helping accelerate the scientific breakthroughs that are changing the future of Alzheimer's disease.

Because of your generosity, Battle for the Brain continues to fuel groundbreaking Alzheimer's research at Emory's Goizueta Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. What began as a community determined to honor loved ones affected by Alzheimer's has grown into a powerful force for scientific discovery, accelerating progress toward earlier diagnosis, more effective treatments, and ultimately prevention.

 
 

Today, the fight against Alzheimer's looks very different than it did just a few years ago. Researchers can now detect the biological signs of Alzheimer's years before symptoms appear, opening the door to earlier intervention and better outcomes. Blood-based biomarker tests are transforming how the disease is identified, making diagnosis faster, more accessible, and less invasive than ever before. At the same time, breakthrough therapies are helping patients maintain their independence longer, while researchers work to better understand who will benefit most from these emerging treatments.

Your support is helping make these advances possible. Through Battle for the Brain, Daughters Against Alzheimer's provides critical funding that allows Emory researchers to pursue innovative ideas, attract significant National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants, and move promising discoveries from the laboratory to the clinic. In many cases, philanthropic support serves as the catalyst that unlocks substantially larger federal research investments, multiplying the impact of every dollar donated.

Most importantly, your generosity is creating hope for families facing Alzheimer's disease today while bringing us closer to a future where fewer families face it at all.

On behalf of every researcher, every clinician, every patient, and every family whose future is brighter because of your support, thank you for being part of this journey. The progress we celebrate today belongs to you.
