In support of the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease (NAPA), Daughters Against Alzheimer’s is honored to support the plan’s ambitious goals to both prevent future cases of Alzheimer’s and to meet the needs of the millions of American families currently facing these diseases. With their strong commitment to research, DAA is proud to support collaborative work among the world’s premier doctors, scientists, and researchers at Emory’s Goizueta Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center.

Battle for the Brain proceeds are donated to Emory’s Goizueta Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center and support unrestricted research relating to digital and traditional biomarkers so that we can detect and treat Alzheimer’s and dementia in their earliest stages.

THE POWER OF YOUR PHILANTHROPY

Because of you, 2025 has been a groundbreaking year for research at Daughters Against Alzheimer’s! Your incredible support through Battle for the Brain is fueling some of the most exciting advances yet at Emory’s Goizueta Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (GADRC).

Thanks to you, the first wave of effective therapies is here—and with your continued investment, researchers are moving faster than ever to unlock early detection tools like blood-based biomarker tests that could one day make brain health checkups as common as cholesterol screenings. Unlike the first generation of tests that detect Alzheimer’s only after symptoms appear—when damage is already underway—the tests you are helping to fund aim to identify the disease in its earliest biological stages, years before memory loss begins.

You are helping scientists diagnose Alzheimer’s years before symptoms strike, personalize groundbreaking treatments like lecanemab and donanemab, and uncover new genetic risk factors beyond APOE4. Your gifts are driving bold innovation, from developing next-generation blood tests to expanding smarter, faster models of care—and you have even multiplied your impact tenfold through major NIH grants! As Dr. Allan Levey put it best, "We are poised to make advances on all fronts, but none of it is possible without philanthropy." On behalf of our entire “Battle Family” and every patient whose future looks brighter because of you—thank you for being the heart of this movement and bringing hope to families everywhere.
