A great deal of resources was dedicated to the launch and establishing the new program name, especially in the healthcare community that encompasses individuals and organizations that are all dedicated to the issue of premature births in the United States. Due to the large premature birth problem in the United States (the US has the sixth highest rate of premature births in the world, 12% 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 2017-18, the BB program issued 26 grants to hospitals in the USA, from a pool of 54 applicants. The total amount of grant funding was $804,021, which funded the purchase of 32 pieces of equipment. The demand for equipment funding was $5.6 million. Note, for the 2017/18 application hospitals were asked to only submit their top three needs, no longer an entire list of needs, hence the total need was lower. Its safe to assume if applicant hospitals were asked to list all their equipment needs, the need would have again been in the $9 10 million range. Since the ventilator grant program was established in 2006, 200 hospitals have received grants, totaling $7.7 million dollars, and an estimated 176,780 infants have benefited. The Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation will continue to put a considerable amount of effort into the Brave Beginnings program in 2018-19, to try and meet the need of hospitals through the US, as well as, educate the public about the need and long-term benefits to helping premature infants develop without lifelong ailments. 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, by providing healthcare institutions and professionals with the tools they need to perform the miracles people are asking of them. Following the tradition established by the Will Rogers Institute program, and utilizing resources from the entertainment industry, public service announcements made a significant impact in 2016-17. There were two PSAs in the market, one featuring award winning musical talent Phillip Phillips, who was a preemie, and an animated PSA featuring Sir Isaac Newton, who was also a preemie. The two public service announcements played at 16 movie theater circuits, either on the big screen or on lobby entertainment monitors. Due to the tremendous success of these public service announcements, they were utilized again in 2017/18. Again, the two PSAs played in movie theaters, cable television and websites. The Phillips PSA released to websites and was streamed 715,743 times. Combined, the PSAs were viewed just over 10,000 times by various audiences. 1014572 482012 Pioneers Assistance ProgramThe Pioneers Assistance Fund (PAF), provides people who work or have spent a career in theatrical entertainment with financial assistance for health and welfare issues. The PAF is funded by restricted donations from entertainment industry companies, foundations and individuals who work in the industry. In 2017-18, the Fund provided long-term type assistance to 28 clients and short-term or emergency assistance to 575 clients, up from 210 the previous year. Note, 256 of those individuals were victims of hurricanes in Texas and Florida. Non-hurricane related short-term assistance was provided to 319 individuals. The top three reasons for assistance are: 1. financial hardship, 2. cancer treatments, and 3. accident or unforeseen circumstance. The age range for long-term assistance recipients is 50 - 99, 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 (for the non-hurricane 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 (due to health-related circumstance). In 2017-18, the number one health ailment, for clients needing financial assistance continues to be cancer. 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. 510414 510000 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 2017-18, WRI funded research at: (1) Burke Rehabilitation Hospital (White Plains, NY), (3) University of Southern California School of Medicine, and (4)University of California Los Angeles Medical School. The fellowships were at: New York University, University of Texas Medical School (Dallas, TX), University of California Los Angeles, and University of Southern California, and Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Hospital (Knoxville, TN). Current sponsored programs at the three laboratories include: treatment of lung infections by newly discovered natural antibiotics known as defensins at UCLA; new strategies for treatment of lung injury and pulmonary edema from air pollution and other lung injuries at USC; advanced methods of delivering pulmonary rehabilitation utilizing social workers and medical practitioners at Burke. 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. 242782 10857 2843322 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 false false false true 15 0 true 12 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false 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 OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WI WV X X X TODD R VRADENBURG 3236882524 6767 FOREST LAWN DR 303 LOS ANGELES CA 90068 TODD R VRADENBURG EXECUTIVE DIREC 50.00 0.00 X X 301840 0 53644 ELIZABETH FRANK Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF GOLDSTEIN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SONNY GOURLEY Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN C HALL Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT KENNEDY Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SPENCER KLEIN Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BILL LEWIS Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MICHELLE MADDALENA Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARY NAKAGAWA Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARK CHRISTIANSEN Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 TIM PATTON Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER ROGERS-ETCHEVERRY Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KIP SMILEY JR Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANN STADLER Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARK ZORADI Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE BUNNELL Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KYLE DAVIES President 2.00 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 DAVID HOLLIS Vice President 2.00 0.00 X 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 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BRANDEN MILLER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JIM ORR Chairman 2.00 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 301840 53644 1 false true false OFFIT CAPITAL ADVISORS LLC 485 LEXINGTON AVENUE 24TH FLOOR NEW YORK NY 10017 INVESTMENT MGMT CONS 107992 1 143495 1066588 1155422 2365505 0 354866 354866 0 0 0 2956251 328665 3014537 309624 -58286 19041 -39245 -39245 14772 1066588 84609 -69837 -69837 20570 1763 18807 18807 0 0 2630096 264591 1365570 1365570 482012 482012 0 0 303900 101300 101300 101300 0 470142 263010 126697 80435 40904 15394 14174 11336 134770 63681 38471 32618 52490 24705 15461 12324 0 0 74800 74800 0 0 152048 152048 0 0 28269 7790 14637 5842 7050 7050 0 101674 59309 26630 15735 77135 52773 5955 18407 0 0 0 0 21239 8496 6371 6372 37622 15519 11251 10852 HEALTH EDUCATION 253383 253383 SUMMER THEATER PSA 155999 155999 OUTSIDE SERVICES 73844 20547 15411 37886 Printing and Publications 69410 41022 9989 18399 193380 61761 34209 97410 4095641 2843322 647404 604915 288593 773750 2628929 1072250 367119 513500 0 0 0 0 31331 30618 15265 14627 190081 151201 52841 38880 11510318 11859370 4428505 4259925 0 3013 607 220703 253650 19546617 18817177 1437102 1003935 196442 230083 1633544 1234018 X 13731560 12895785 4181513 4687374 17913073 17583159 19546617 18817177 -1465545 1135631 X false true X true false X 3766602 3025458 4000603 2696281 2365505 15854449 0 0 0 0 3766602 3025458 4000603 2696281 2365505 15854449 0 0 15854449 494025 311865 260540 351768 354866 1773064 0 494025 311865 260540 351768 354866 1773064 0 0 4260627 3337323 4261143 3048049 2720371 17627513 0.89940 0.89260 0.10060 0.10740 X 4181513 1974546 482012 986673 4687374 3964298 2385542 500272 1668055 4181513 2753828 2772361 495150 1066741 3964298 2843399 767039 435209 421401 2753828 2161650 1611322 547287 382286 2843399 1.00000 false false false 1 1 65597 42897 22700 124483 108304 16179 38880 4259925 457 PLAN LIABILITY 230083 230083 X 4971723 1135631 1119624 86372 2341627 2630096 2630096 5301637 1119624 86372 1205996 4095641 4095641 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.

These grants supplement monthly retirement/disability benefits, making it possible for members/spouses to pay their basic living and medical expenses. Grants are issued directly to members/spouses or service providers.Burial & Cremation:This program provides timely, modest and dignified burials/cremations to destitute entertainment industry members/spouses. The MPPAF pays crematoriums, funeral homes, and cemeteries when entertainment industry members'/spouses' estates and relatives do not have the funds to pay for basic cremations or burials.Emergency Cash Grants:This program provides emergency cash grants to entertainment industry members/spouses during an unexpected financial crisis. These cash grants assist with the cost of housing, food, utilities, and other life sustaining services. They are issued to industry members/spouses or service providers.Medical Equipment:This program provides equipment, such as mobility aids, orthotics, emergency call systems, bath safety aids, and home health supplies etc., to low-income disabled/frail entertainment industry members/spouses. This equipment promotes the health, independence and safety of many members/spouses, allowing them to remain longer in their own homes. The equipment is purchased through various medical equipment/supply vendors and delivered to the members/spouses. Medical Rehabilitation:This program assists low-income ill/disabled entertainment industry members/spouses with out-patient medical treatment, diagnostic tests, medications, physical therapy, psychotherapy, home health care, health insurance, and medically necessary transportation. This aid is provided only during an illness, injury, or disability adjustment period. Vendors supplying the treatment or services are paid directly by the MPPAF. Movie/Fruit/Book Support:This program supports the emotional well being of low-income retired/ permanently disabled entertainment industry members/spouses. Since the majority of these members/spouses has mobility limitations and is confined to their homes or facilities, a monthly gift, such as a movie, fruit, or book, is a special treat they can anticipate and a reminder that the MPPAF respects them and cares about their well being. These members/spouses are given a choice of one monthly gift, which is purchased by the MPPAF and mailed to them.Care Management Support: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.
