Changing the Narrative
5 Years of Empowering Every Body

Dear Friends,

​

We’re reaching out to ask for your help.

​

As we celebrate the 5th Anniversary of the Alaska Eating Disorders Alliance (AKEDA), we’ve set a special goal to raise $25,000—$5,000 for each year we’ve been in existence—to continue our life-saving work. With generous matching gifts already secured, every dollar you donate will be doubled, up to $12,500!

​

When we founded AKEDA in 2019, we had one mission: to ensure that no Alaskan would have to face an eating disorder journey alone. Today, AKEDA is Alaska’s only organization dedicated to eating disorder education, advocacy, and support, and the need for our work is more urgent than ever.

​

Every day, Alaskans are still suffering in silence, unable to access treatment. Parents and caregivers are desperate for resources, and healthcare providers across Alaska need specialized training to provide care in-state. With eating disorders rising—especially among young people affected by social media—the stakes continue to grow.

​

That’s why we’re asking for your help now. To mark this milestone, we’re raising $5,000 for each of the five years we’ve been empowering Alaskans, and we’re halfway to our goal! Your donation today will be matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling your impact to help us reach the full $25,000 and extend our reach to even more individuals and families.

​

This is your chance to make a difference.

​

Please consider making a special 5th anniversary gift—whether it’s a one-time donation, part of your PFD, or through an IRA or Donor Advised Fund. Every dollar will go twice as far, thanks to the matching gifts already secured.

​

And if you’re looking for a way to make an even bigger impact, consider becoming a sustaining donor. By committing to a monthly, quarterly  or yearly donation, you’ll provide reliable, ongoing support that ensures AKEDA can continue its vital work year after year. Sustaining donations allow us to plan ahead, expand our programs, and respond to the growing needs in our communities.

​

Donate now and help us raise $5,000 for each year of AKEDA’s existence. Your gift today will save lives, expand access to treatment, and ensure that no Alaskan walks this path alone.

​

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Together, we can create a brighter, healthier future for every body in Alaska.

 

With gratitude,​

Beth Rose & Jenny Loudon
