THE AIM OF SEACREST STUDIOS IS TO CONTRIBUTE POSITIVELY TO THE HEALING PROCESS FOR CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES DURING THEIR STAY BY DEVELOPING THESE CENTERS TO BRING AN UPLIFTING SPIRIT TO THE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY.

WE BELIEVE ACCESS TO MULTIMEDIA EXPERIENCES WILL BRING PATIENTS EXCITING AND STIMULATING ADVENTURES AND ENCOURAGE OPTIMISTIC THOUGHTS DURING TREATMENT. THE FOUNDATION BRINGS SPECIAL GUESTS AND CELEBRITIES TO THE BROADCAST MEDIA CENTERS FOR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES TO MEET, INTERVIEW AND WATCH PERFORM. SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE FOUNDATION, OVER 1,100 CELEBRITY GUESTS HAVE VISITED THE 11 SEACREST STUDIOS. IN ADDITION TO CELEBRITY VISITS, THE PROGRAMMING OF EACH STUDIO ALLOWS PATIENTS TO PLAY GAMES, ENGAGE IN EDUCATIONAL SHOWS, HOST THEIR OWN RADIO AND TV SHOWS, PLUS MUCH MORE. PATIENTS HAVE THE ABILITY TO COME DOWN TO THE STUDIO TO PARTICIPATE OR THEY CAN WATCH THE PROGRAMMING FROM THE TV IN THEIR ROOM VIA A CLOSED-CIRCUIT NETWORK. THE FOUNDATION ALSO HAS CREATED THE ABILITY TO INTERCONNECT ALL OF THE SEACREST STUDIOS, SO PROGRAMMING CAN BE SHARED WITH HOSPITALS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY - A WIDELY USED FEATURE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. IN 2021 THE FOUNDATION SUPPORTED THE STUDIOS VIA TECHNOLOGY PURCHASES AND UPGRADES. THESE PURCHASES ENSURED THE SUCCESS OF VIRTUAL VISITS AND PROGRAMMING, AS WELL AS PROVIDED RENOVATIONS TO THE STUDIOS. 2021 SAW 176 TALENT VISITS FROM JANUARY TO DECEMBER. MANY OF THESE VISITS CONNECTED MULTIPE STUDIO LOCATIONS SO PATIENTS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY COULD INTERVIEW TALENT AND ENJOY MUSIC PERFORMANCES, MAGIC TRICKS AND MORE! THE FOUNDATION ALSO MADE A MONETARY CONTRIBUTION TO ALL 11 STUDIOS TO SUPPORT THEIR PROGRAMMING AND EQUIPMENT NEEDS AND WORKED WITH TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS ON AN INCREASED NUMBER OF EQUIPMENT UPGRADES FOR OLDER STUDIOS. THE FOUNDATION ALSO PROVIDES ENGINEERING ASSISTANCE TO SUPPORT ALL STUDIOS FOR ANY TECHNOLOGY NEEDS THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE YEAR. THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH JAKKS PACIFIC, SEACREST STUDIOS NATIONWIDE RECEIVED $441,000 WORTH OF COSTUMES AND TOYS TO PROVIDE PATIENTS. ADDITIONALLY, ALL SEACREST STUDIOS RECEIVED A DONATION OF 25-30 BRAVEHOODS T-SHIRTS TOTALING TO NEARLY $16,000 IN DONATED MERCHANDISE. RSF ALSO WORKED SAGO MINI ON EDUCATIONAL CRAFT AND STORY BOX DONATIONS FOR PATIENTS TO LEARN AND EXPLORE THEIR CREATIVE TALENTS. THROUGH A NEW RELATIONSHIP WITH LOVE YOUR MELON, RSF WAS ABLE TO COORDINATE THE DONATION OF MORE THAN $34,000 WORTH OF BEANIES, SUPERHERO BOOKS AND MASKS TO PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. WITH AN ONGOING NEED FOR PRE-RECORDED CONTENT TO AIR DURING THE PANDEMIC, RSF ALSO WORKED WITH KEY GROUPS SUCH AS SAGO MINI, SAFARI WEST, ACM LIFTING LIVES, RED LIGHT MANAGEMENT, SMACK SONGS AND MORE TO BRING UNIQUE AND ENGAGING PERFORMANCES, SAFARI TOURS, AND EDUCATIONS CONTENT TO PATIENTS. IN LATE 2021, RSF ANNOUNCED A NEW STUDIO WILL BE BUILT AT COHEN CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTER IN QUEENS, NY LOCATED IN THE MOST DIVERSE ZIP CODE IN THE UNITED STATES. WITH REGARDS TO PROGRAMMING, THE 11 SEACREST STUDIO LOCATIONS REACHED APPROXIMATELY 2.1 MILLION PATIENTS AND FAMILIES, BROADCASTED OVER 5,300 HOURS IN LIVE SHOWS AND HOSTED 150 PATIENT-CREATED SHOWS. IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO THE FOUNDATION TO REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND INVOLVE STUDENTS FROM LOCAL UNIVERSITIES. THEREFORE, THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES STUDENTS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE THROUGH AN INTERNSHIP PROGRAM AT SEACREST STUDIOS IN BROADCASTING, PROGRAMMING AND OPERATING A MULTIMEDIA CENTER. THE FOUNDATION, IN PARTNERSHIP NOW WITH 11 HOSPITALS, HAS WORKED WITH MORE THAN 100 UNIVERSITIES AND HAD MORE THAN 1,100 INTERNS, IN WHICH 18 HAVE BEEN HIRED TO WORK IN A SEACREST STUDIO OR AN INTERNAL RYAN SEACREST SUBSIDIARY. IN 2021, SEACREST STUDIOS COLLECTIVELY WORKED WITH 59 TOTAL INTERNS, BOTH THROUGH VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON INTERNSHIPS. 1388837 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA GA TN FL X THE ORGANIZATION 6158232820 1222 16TH AVENUE SOUTH SUITE 13 NASHVILLE TN 37212 RYAN SEACREST CHAIRMAN 5.00 X X 0 0 0 GARY SEACREST CEO, CFO, CHAIR 35.00 X X 89308 0 0 CONNIE SEACREST VICE PRESIDENT 15.00 X X 0 0 0 MEREDITH SEACREST LEACH EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, COO 55.00 X X 281632 0 18538 JEFF REFOLD DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 QUINTON MARTIN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 NICOLE MEAD SENIOR DIRECTOR 40.00 X 114231 0 6871 485171 0 25409 2 0 1 0 0 1248462 704904 1248462 45919 45919 1294381 0 0 45919 854842 854842 389478 230462 128999 30017 232825 179735 21647 31443 5137 4654 483 38721 25601 9297 3823 30621 20246 7352 3023 256 256 20857 13790 5008 2059 461 230 231 11846 8138 2019 1689 1553 1027 373 153 45973 30396 11038 4539 9212 6091 2212 909 256 169 62 25 6233 4121 1497 615 MISCELLANEOUS 72562 1367 497 70698 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 7301 4828 1752 721 BUSINESS MEALS AND ENTE 2914 1894 292 728 PAYROLL AND 401K PROCES 1884 1246 452 186 1732932 1388837 192753 151342 1008152 266795 918833 518024 18012 18936 36628 24147 10075 12481 1932786 2609120 3887858 3425356 21212 19613 21212 19613 X 2947813 2980743 918833 425000 3866646 3405743 3887858 3425356 -438551 -22608 256 0 X 0 1 X 0 0 X 1143036 1921869 1569730 1700266 1248462 7583363 1143036 1921869 1569730 1700266 1248462 7583363 3953471 3629892 7262 11907 45553 24678 45919 135319 7718682 0.47030 0.49680 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3805 2581 1224 32823 21566 11257 12481 X 1271773 -22608 -22608 1294381 0 1294381 1732676 0 1732676 256 256 1732932 PART X, LINE 2: MANAGEMENT PERFORMS AN EVALUATION OF ALL INCOME TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN THE COURSE OF PREPARING THE FOUNDATION'S INCOME TAX RETURN TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE INCOME TAX POSITIONS MEET A "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" STANDARD OF BEING SUSTAINED UNDER EXAMINATION BY THE APPLICABLE TAXING AUTHORITIES.
