Due to the large premature birth problem in the United States (the US has the sixth highest rate of premature births in the world, 10% of all births, in most developed countries the rate is 7 9%), hospitals have a tremendous need for additional equipment and modern equipment that will give a premature infant a fighting chance at a life without disease or a permanent disorder. In 2019-20, the BB program issued 46 grants to hospitals in the USA, from a pool of 84 applicants. The total amount of grant funding was $1.4mil. The demand for equipment funding was $8.6mil. Since the ventilator grant program was established in 2006, 200 hospitals have received grants, totaling $9.6mil dollars, and an estimated 270,000 infants have been served. The overall objectives of the Brave Beginnings program is to educate the public about the need and long-term benefits to helping premature infants develop without lifelong ailments, as well as, provide hospital NICUs with vital equipment. Along with many other individuals and organizations dedicated to fighting the preemie epidemic, the Brave Beginnings program will try to help eliminate a generation of children growing up with ailments and disorders, due to a premature birth. New in 2019-20 was a strategic alliance with SONICU, a sound and temperature equipment manufacturer. SOINICU is a cloud-based system that alerts healthcare personnel about high sound levels, temperature drops, and humidity drops in the NICU. A pilot grant was given Riley Childrens Hospital (Indianapolis, IN), Memorial Hospital at Gulfport (Mississippi), and Comers Childrens Hospital-University of Chicago Medical Center (Illinois) to demonstrate the efficacy for preemie development when sound, temperature and humidity is closely monitored. Following the tradition established by the Will Rogers Institute program, and utilizing resources from the entertainment industry, public service announcements continue to help generate awareness and financial support. In 2019-20, PSAs were made featuring celebrity John Cena and social media influencer Tori Meskin BSN, RNC-NIC aka Nurse Tori. The two appeared in a PSA made to play in movie theaters and on the internet. Nurse Tori did a series of Brave Beginnings social media posts and videos to create awareness for the program 900730 366455 Pioneers Assistance ProgramThe Pioneers Assistance Fund (PAF) provides financial assistance for health and welfare issues to people who work in theatrical entertainment. Assistance is provided on a sliding scale for people who have worked a minimum of five years in the industry up to people who have worked an entire career in the industry. The PAF is funded by restricted donations from entertainment industry companies, foundations and individuals who work in the theatrical entertainment industry. In 2019-20, the PAF provided long-term type assistance to 20 clients and short-term assistance to 439 clients, down from 651 the previous year. The top three reasons for assistance are: 1. Rent and household financial hardship, 2. Medical treatments and care, and 3. Accident or unforeseen circumstance. The age range for long-term assistance recipients is 51 - 101, with many of those receiving assistance between the ages 71 90. The short-term client ages are from 20-100 years of age, with the majority receiving assistance in the 51 70 age group. The Pioneers Assistance Fund program provides financial assistance for the following services: medical rehabilitation, medical related equipment, vocational rehabilitation, emergency grants, and quality of life issues (primarily due to health-related circumstance). In 2019-20, the number one health ailment, for clients needing financial assistance continues to be cancer. The other overwhelming reason for emergency financial assistance is due to housing insecurity. Social workers are finding that a significant number of people seeking financial assistance are employed, but live under a very tight budget, due to many factors. One accident, illness or unforeseen incident can create a household crisis. PAF clients reflect the greater circumstance affecting middle-class workers in the USA, most are barely keeping up with financial demands of day-to-day life. 340884 330000 Will Rogers Institute Research & Fellowships The Will Rogers Institute (WRI) is a program that has roots dating back to when the charity operated the Will Rogers Memorial Hospital. A primary objective of the hospital was to conduct research for patient care and train pulmonary doctors on how to provide the best care for their patients. Today, WRI funds general pulmonary research that provides training for the next generation of pulmonologists and pulmonary researchers, as well as, provides funding for medical school fellowships (training fellowships). In 2019-20, WRI continues to focus all research efforts to the Will Rogers Institute Pulmonary Research Center at USC Keck School of Medicine, directed by Dr. Edward Crandall, Hastings Professor of Medicine. The Will Rogers Institute Pulmonary Research Center is focused on new strategies for treatment of lung injury and pulmonary edema from air pollution and other lung injuries. Training fellowships for pulmonary medicine continue at Burke Rehabilitation Hospital (White Plains, NY), University New York University, University of Texas Medical School (Dallas, TX), Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Hospital (Knoxville, TN) and Cedars-Sinai Hospital and Research Center (Los Angeles, CA). The objective for funding research fellowships in lung diseases at many major universities throughout the United States is to help train future leaders of lung research and thoracic specialists. 146249 3489 3114130 true true false false false false false false false true true true false false true true true false false false false false false false true true false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 16 0 true 8 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 29 28 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false AK AL AR AZ CA CO CT DC FL GA IL KS KY LA MA MD ME MI MN MO MS NC ND NH NJ NM NY OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WI WV X X X TODD R VRADENBURG 3236882500 6767 FOREST LAWN DR 303 LOS ANGELES CA 90068 TODD R VRADENBURG EXECUTIVE DIREC 50.00 0.00 X X 276175 0 77423 SAMANTHA STEPLETON SOCIAL SVCS DIR 40.00 0.00 102478 0 19652 ELIZABETH FRANK Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF GOLDSTEIN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SAMUEL GOURLEY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN C HALL Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT KENNEDY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SPENCER KLEIN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BILL LEWIS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MICHELLE MADDALENA Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARY NAKAGAWA Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARK CHRISTIANSEN Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 TIM PATTON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER ROGERS-ETCHEVERRY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KIP SMILEY JR Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANN STADLER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARK ZORADI Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CATHLEEN TAFF Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE BUNNELL Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 W KYLE DAVIES President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MEG WILSON Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JOHN FITHIAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT FORMAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ADRIAN SMITH Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MADELYN HAMMOND Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT LENIHAN Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BRANDEN MILLER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JIM ORR Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ADAM MIZEL Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CHARLES B MOSS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 378653 97075 2 false true false OFFIT CAPITAL ADVISORS LLC 485 LEXINGTON AVENUE 24TH FLOOR NEW YORK NY 10017 INVESTMENT MGMT CONS 101390 1 107869 1080711 2319599 3508179 0 438588 438588 0 0 0 5386444 346739 5325610 289725 60834 57014 117848 117848 138720 1080711 499124 -360404 -360404 21725 244 21481 21481 0 0 3725692 217513 1781789 1781789 366455 366455 0 0 271394 108558 81418 81418 0 424358 229000 110092 85266 45425 21149 12287 11989 107776 50546 31891 25339 46802 22707 12883 11212 0 0 76685 76685 0 0 145121 100661 13438 31022 0 0 20966 8018 9701 3247 0 0 107957 64003 23905 20049 104725 90656 5963 8106 0 0 0 0 10721 6433 2144 2144 40276 21551 9468 9257 HEALTH EDUCATION 163245 153731 9514 INDIRECT EVENT COSTS 74023 74023 SUMMER THEATER PSA 52524 52524 Printing and Publications 46172 26032 11715 8425 183956 62841 38999 82116 4070370 3114130 440589 515651 711146 4123079 884159 413118 1500 0 0 0 0 0 28353 25375 38595 16000 150752 135554 24222 15198 11827750 8318934 3231245 2622643 0 0 270624 291203 17017594 15825550 617053 103733 1281099 250730 274427 867783 1659259 X 11629193 8810831 4520618 5355460 16149811 14166291 17017594 15825550 -344678 -1638842 X false true X true false X 4000603 2696281 2365505 1654704 3508179 14225272 0 0 0 0 4000603 2696281 2365505 1654704 3508179 14225272 0 0 14225272 260540 351768 354866 381142 438588 1786904 0 260540 351768 354866 381142 438588 1786904 8441 8441 0 4261143 3048049 2720371 2044287 3946767 16020617 0.88790 0.89170 0.11150 0.10770 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4520618 3547162 366455 2345865 5355460 4687374 1443540 350569 1259727 4520618 4181513 1974546 482012 986673 11605 3964298 2385542 500272 1668055 4181513 2753828 2772361 495150 1066741 3964298 1.00000 false false false 1 1 67294 59270 8024 83457 76284 7173 15198 2622643 457 PLAN LIABILITY 274427 274427 X 2115669 -1638842 247963 -1390879 3506548 145121 74023 219144 3725692 4099189 247963 247963 3851226 145121 74023 219144 4070370 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.

In addition to the services identified, social service staff visit PAF clients who are easily accessible to assess their circumstances and to arrange appropriate care. For clients living in other areas of the United States, independent social service workers are contacted to assess their circumstances, financial need and available services in their area. Also, this category provides a monthly care package to members/spouses with mobility limitations who are confined to their homes or facilities. The purpose of this program is to remind those clients that they are not alone, not forgotten, and to maintain their emotional well being. Often it is necessary for the Social Service staff to visit MPPAF recipients to assess their circumstances and to arrange appropriate care. Occasionally when large numbers of MPPAF recipients require immediate services it is also necessary to hire Social Service consultants to make timely interventions. Companies that provide credit and backgrounds checks are helpful when making assessments. The expenses associated with these activities, such as travel, lodging, consultant fees, and credit/background fees, are known as Care Management Support expenses since they allow the Social Service staff to better manage the care of MPPAF recipients.
