The Wall of Hope offers families, friends, businesses, and other groups the opportunity to honor and remember loved ones or celebrate someone leading the fight against Alzheimer's. Wood bricks and glass plates can be personally inscribed as an everlasting gift. The wood bricks or glass plates will be mounted on our Wall of Hope for all to view.
The wood bricks and glass plates can serve two purposes:
In Honor: Special recognition for a family member, friend or colleague.
In Memory: Recognize someone dear who has passed away and celebrate his or her life.
In both cases, the gifts are messages that speak to the depth of emotion and the sense of connection that are an integral part of any relationship.

How the Program Works
You may obtain a Wall of Hope commemorative wood brick or glass plate in one of two ways:
- as a direct purchase
or
- by raising money.
Once you have purchased a wood brick or glass plate or raised enough for it, a confirmation notice will be sent to you.
Whether the wood brick or glass plate is purchased or funds are raised for it, the donor will be thanked. Where applicable, the person being honored is informed about the gift and who made it. Dollar amounts are not revealed; only the sentiment. For gifts that memoralize the deceased, the family is notified.
The wood bricks and glass plates will be permanently mounted on our Wall of Hope in our Fairfax, Virginia, offices for all to view.
