Every summer, over 500 11th and 12th grade students participate in one of these two-week camps, which are offered in 30+ communities across Arkansas. Community Health Applied in Medical Public Service (CHAMPS) is a 3-5 day option geared for younger students (8th - 10th grade) in smaller, more rural communities. These programs are very effective in inspiring students toward health careers at a time when they are making college and career plans, with most students coming from rural and/or minority backgrounds. In 2016, 95% stated that after M*A*S*H they were more likely to pursue a health career; 58% more likely to pursue Primary Care, and 54% more likely to practice in a Rural or Medically Underserved Area.M*A*S*H participants explore health careers and interact with diverse health care professionals. They earn Basic First Aid and CPR certification, tour medical facilities, learn healthy lifestyles, and engage in fun hands-on activities that apply classroom science concepts to real-world healthcare fields and scenarios, including lectures, labs, clinical interaction and shadowing. In Arkansas, 60 of our 75 counties are designated as Dental Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs), and 42% of our population lives in rural areas. By participating in a M*A*S*H program in or near their hometown, students from rural areas can observe both available resources and the need for health professionals in their own communities. 217060 160135 527072 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 AR X Michael Solomon 5012244400 PO Box 31 Little Rock AR 72203 Randy Veach President 1.00 20.00 X X 0 75000 0 Rich Hillman Vice President 1.00 15.00 X X 0 30850 0 Joe Christian Secretary/Treasurer 1.00 10.00 X X 0 16100 0 Jon Carroll Director 1.00 5.00 X 0 16700 0 Sherry Felts Director 1.00 5.00 X 0 9300 0 Terry Dabbs Director 1.00 5.00 X 0 12650 0 Mike Freeze Director 1.00 5.00 X 0 10750 0 Bruce Jackson Director 1.00 5.00 X 0 16700 0 Gene Pharr Director 1.00 5.00 X 0 18650 0 Tom Jones Director 1.00 5.00 X 0 15000 0 Caleb Plyler Director 1.00 5.00 X 0 16550 0 Terry Laster Director 1.00 5.00 X 0 11100 0 Rusty Smith Director 1.00 5.00 X 0 13200 0 Jeremy Miller Director 1.00 5.00 X 0 16025 0 Joe Thrash Director 1.00 5.00 X 0 5700 0 Dan Wright Director 1.00 5.00 X 0 11550 0 Donna Bemis Women's Committee Chair 1.00 5.00 X 0 9350 0 Magen Allen Women's Committee Vice Cha 1.00 5.00 X 0 9300 0 Adam Cloninger YF&R Chair 1.00 5.00 X 0 7200 0 Dustin Cowell YF&R Vice-Chair 0.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Warren Carter Executive Vice President 1.00 15.00 X 0 277839 335287 0 599514 335287 0 0 1 0 0 12628 485150 240116 737894 499 499 2428 12628 12851 -10423 -10423 727970 0 0 -9924 191455 191455 91769 91769 95198 95198 874 874 70431 70431 12063 12063 46321 46321 450 450 Events Expense 18511 18511 527072 527072 0 0 505417 716372 7795 505417 724167 11577 29429 11577 29429 X 451604 609799 42236 84939 493840 694738 505417 724167 200898 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 540643 777608 737894 2056145 540643 777608 737894 2056145 1275718 780427 133 287 499 919 2057064 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 X 740821 12851 12851 727970 0 727970 539923 12851 12851 527072 0 527072 Part X, Line 2: The Foundation has received a determination letter indicating that it is exempt from federal and state income taxes pursuant to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501(c)(3). Accounting standards require the Foundation to evaluate tax positions and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Foundation has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would be unsustainable upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation has analyzed the tax positions taken and has concluded that as of October 31, 2019 and 2018, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require the recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Foundation is subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service; however there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.
