Golf for Tomorrow A Foundation to Benefit Alzheimer's Association and the Alliance for Lupus Research. Since awarding their first grants in 1982, the Alzheimer's Association has grown into the largest private, nonprofit funder of Alzheimer research. Over the life of their grants program, they have awarded in excess of $279 million to more than 1,900 projects. Through the fundraising efforts of their donors the Alliance for Lupus Research (ALR) has become the largest private funder of lupus (an auto immune disease which affects over 1.4 million individuals) research in the world. By year's end, they will have committed $50 million to lupus research. They've made progress towards the goal of finding new treatments and, one day, a cure for lupus; but the ALR is not there yet.
