Our Crowdfunding Groups
Hello Everyone!
We are excited to announce that we have raised 100% of our goal in just 3 days! Thank you so much for your generous support. That is more than we could ever have imagined in such a short time, and it is all thanks to you!
We are so appreciative of everyone who has taken the time to learn more about our team, our goals, and has donated to our cause. We look forward to connecting with even more people in these upcoming weeks to work together in fighting Alzheimer’s disease.
We are excited to have finished the first of three phases of our study. We will analyze data then move on to Phase II!
Hello everyone! We are happy to announce that, due to the overwhelming support from the first half of our campaign, we are setting a stretch goal of $1,000 for a total of $6,000 in donations.
The Alzheimer’s International Conference will take place in Washington D.C. this July. Our success thus far has made us optimistic that funding for this conference can be within our reach. We are setting a stretch goal of $1000 to pay for the registration costs to send as many team members as possible to this prestigious conference. This would be an amazing opportunity for us to learn from and network with the pre-eminent researchers in the field.
So again, we ask you to spread the word and help us get our research out there to others who may be interested in donating to Alzheimer’s research. Thank you so much again for all of your support thus far. Due to your generosity, our undergraduate team may be able to share our research among the best in the field!
Hello everyone,
As our campaign has come to an end, we would like to express our sincerest gratitude to every one of you for donating to our project. Your kind support has allowed us to reach our goal and has made this a successful campaign for our team. As we move forward to finish collecting data and get started in writing on our thesis, we hope to keep you updated on what your donations have allowed us to accomplish! Again, thank you so much for your generosity and support.
Sincerely,
Team Brainblast
