If you have an American Express card, you can really help make a difference for researchers. There is a new program by American Express that gives money to disease research and the Alzheimer’s Association is asking us to help make sure it gets a big chunk of the money. How awesome is it that we can help such an important cause raise so much money by just giving up a few minutes of our time? Here are the details:

Thanks to hundreds of American Express cardholders who are champions for our cause, the Alzheimer’s Association has been chosen as one of the top 50 projects in The Members ProjectSM, a new initiative from American Express that will award up to $5 million to a project selected by American Express cardholders.

Now is your chance to put your VOICE into action again: Vote from now until July 15 to make sure the Cure for Alzheimer’s Project is selected as one of the top 25 projects!
