Wedding and Gift Registry
A modern and touching way to support The Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation is by creating your own online charity registry for your wedding, bat/bar mitzvah, anniversary or other special occasion. In addition to a traditional gift registry, guests can make donations in your name as their wedding gift to you.
JustGive provides the opportunity to create a unique and meaningful gift registry for your special occasion. Used alone or in conjunction with other gift registries, couples can create a customized Web page that encourages contributions to their favorite charities. Please peruse JustGive.org for more information.
The I Do Foundation allows couples and their guests to make wedding-related purchases, from honeymoons to invitations to wedding gifts, which generate donations for charity. Explore this option today at IDoFoundation.org, and remember to choose The Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation as your beneficiary.
Special Occasion Favors and Cards

From honeymoons to invitations, wedding gifts to charitable wedding favors, the I Do Foundation allows couples and their guests to make wedding-related purchases that generate donations for charity. The I Do Foundation’s Donation Registry service also makes it easy for guests to make donations in lieu of gifts. All of these services are available free of cost at www.IDoFoundation.org.

Charitable favors are quickly becoming the standard way to leave your guests with a memorable experience. When you make a gift to ADDF in lieu of traditional party favors, you can order cards to commemorate your generous donation. You may personalize your cards with your own message to mark your special occasion or to honor or memorialize a loved one.
You may choose to donate one sum or to specify a particular dollar amount per favor. The ADDF recommends a minimum gift of $5 per guest. Please let us know how many cards you will need. You will be asked to provide your credit card information, as well as the name and address where cards should be mailed and the date of your event. A contact email address and/or phone number is also requested in case of questions. Once your gift is processed, the cards will be printed and mailed to the given address. Please allow at least two to four weeks for processing and delivery.
To discuss special occasion donations, please contact Allison Sawczyn, Assistant Director of Development, at 212-901-8016 or asawczyn@alzdiscovery.org.
