A large portion of WRI program 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 2016-17, the BB program issued 24 grants to hospitals in the USA, from a pool of 64 applicants. The total amount of grant funding was again just over $1 million dollars, which funded the purchase of 79 pieces of equipment. The demand for equipment funding was approximately $9,000,000. Since the ventilator grant program was established in 2006, 170 hospitals have received grants, totaling $6.7 million dollars, and an estimated 107,244 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 2017-18, 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. In addition to the PSA play in movie theaters, the PSAs also had a tremendous amount of play on cable television and websites. The Phillips PSA released to websites and was streamed 715,743 times. The PSA had a 73% completion view rate, national average is 45%. The Newton PSA aired 14,651 times on 500 stations, in 2016-17, providing an in-kind media value of $4,916,543. The PSA was seen on the CNN Airport Network, Cooking Channel, DIY channel, and the Food Network. Sixty-seven percent of the PSA airings was between the hours 5 AM 10 PM, with 8% of the play happening in the 8:00-10:00 PM hours. The Brave Beginnings program was featured on nationally podcast radio program, Dr. Gluss: Engaging Minds (KABC) and a nationally syndicated news program called Life Connected (NBC), which is produced and features the respected reporter Carolyn Johnson. Brave Beginnings was also the featured program for the 64th Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity aka The Young Lions Competition. In the USA, junior creative executives competed to earn a trip to the marketing festival in Cannes, France and compete against other junior execs from around the world. The USA contestants had to create content and campaigns for all marketing sectors exclusively for Brave Beginnings. The marketing sectors were: Print PSA, Cyber, Integrated Marketing & Public Relations, and Video PSA. Each category produced fantastic ideas and we look forward to utilizing some of them in 2018-19. Also, in 2016-17, WRMPPF joined other organizations dedicated to premature birth awareness and preemie support for the national NICU Awareness campaign. Brave Beginnings spokes people, Liam Hemsworth, Zoe Saldana, and Phillip Phillips all made a push on social media to create awareness for NICU Awareness Month, as well as, bring attention to the premature birth epidemic in the USA. Celebrity Kim Kardashian West also signed-on to support the campaign by sending messages to her 48 million followers on social media. 937804 500272 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, primarily via an annual gala event, golf tournament, and year-end solicitation. In 2016-17, the Fund provided long-term assistance to 29 clients and short-term assistance to 210 clients, up from 95 the previous year. Client ailments included bone/joint/muscle disorders, brain/spinal cord/nerve disorders, heart and blood vessel disorders, lung/airway disorders, mental health issues, and financial hardship. 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. 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 2016-17, the number one health ailment, for clients needing financial assistance, was cancer. Homelessness was not as much of a problem, as the year previous, because social workers had experience in 2015-16 working with clients who were homeless (due to financial hardship) they were on the lookout for certain circumstances. 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. 580677 580000 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 2016-17, WRI funded research at: Burke Rehabilitation Hospital (White Plains, NY), University of Southern California School of Medicine, University of California Los Angeles Medical School, and Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Hospital (Knoxville, TN). The fellowships were at: New York University, University of Texas Medical School (Dallas, TX), University of California Los Angeles, and University of Southern California. Current sponsored programs at the four 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; and smoking cessation programs for patients in pulmonary rehabilitation, as well as other pulmonary related therapies at the Patricia Neal Center. 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. 380198 32407 3254268 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 false true 15 0 true 9 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 28 27 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 301523 0 58662 TIM WARNER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF GOLDSTEIN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 FRED VAN NOY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD M FAY Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRIS ARONSON Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARK CHRISTIANSEN Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID PASSMAN Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CLARK WOODS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT DEL MORO Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE BUNNELL Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 GREG DUNN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KYLE DAVIES Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 NICK CARPOU Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MEG WILSON Director 1.00 0.00 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 ANN-ELIZABETH CROTTY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT LENIHAN Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JOHN SPINELLO Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BRANDEN MILLER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JIM ORR President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ADAM MIZEL Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHARLES B MOSS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROLANDO RODRIGUEZ Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 301523 58662 1 false true false OFFIT CAPITAL ADVISORS LLC 485 LEXINGTON AVENUE 24TH FLOOR NEW YORK NY 10017 INVESTMENT MGMT CONS 109215 1 88791 943677 1663813 2696281 0 351768 351768 0 0 0 6177084 1467404 5218641 1257678 958443 209726 1168169 1168169 19018 943677 464441 -445423 -445423 23195 16917 6278 6278 0 0 3777073 1080792 1610707 1610707 500272 500272 0 0 305069 101689 101690 101690 0 408234 225361 121084 61789 37645 14538 13077 10030 90380 35196 32343 22841 46415 21281 14496 10638 0 1611 1611 101914 101914 0 0 133420 133420 0 0 26661 8073 12533 6055 5083 5083 0 99078 55672 18877 24529 163367 133933 5520 23914 0 0 0 0 21719 8690 6516 6513 30274 3390 25190 1694 HEALTH EDUCATION 407696 407696 INDIRECT EVENT COSTS 220599 220599 SUMMER THEATER PSA 191457 191457 Printing and Publications 79171 47124 10226 21821 274135 75563 80225 118347 4754907 3254268 678722 821917 1848401 288593 479915 2628929 1220627 367119 0 0 0 0 35746 31331 91983 15265 185209 132368 58260 52841 12420931 11510318 3717314 4428505 0 5419 3013 174753 220703 20053349 19546617 1291524 1437102 400000 165059 196442 1856583 1633544 X 14232468 13731560 3964298 4181513 18196766 17913073 20053349 19546617 -977834 694141 X false true X true false X 3013393 3766602 3025458 4000603 2696281 16502337 0 0 0 0 3013393 3766602 3025458 4000603 2696281 16502337 0 0 16502337 567130 494025 311865 260540 351768 1985328 0 567130 494025 311865 260540 351768 1985328 0 0 3580523 4260627 3337323 4261143 3048049 18487665 0.89260 0.88400 0.10740 0.11600 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3964298 2385542 500272 1668055 4181513 2753828 2772361 495150 1066741 3964298 2843399 767039 435209 421401 2753828 2161650 1611322 547287 382286 2843399 3048198 981955 1745483 123020 2161650 false false false 1 1 63195 34037 29158 122013 98331 23682 52841 4428505 457 PLAN LIABILITY 196442 196442 X 8850240 694141 3897668 481358 5073167 3777073 3777073 9133933 3897668 481358 4379026 4754907 4754907 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.

The PAF is funded by restricted donations from entertainment industry companies, foundations and individuals who work in the industry, primarily via an annual gala event, golf tournament, and year-end solicitation. In 2016-17, the Fund provided long-term assistance to 29 clients and short-term assistance to 210 clients, up from 95 the previous year. Client ailments included bone/joint/muscle disorders, brain/spinal cord/nerve disorders, heart and blood vessel disorders, lung/airway disorders, mental health issues, and financial hardship. 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. 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 2016-17, the number one health ailment, for clients needing financial assistance, was cancer. Homelessness was not as much of a problem, as the year previous, because social workers had experience in 2015-16 working with clients who were homeless (due to financial hardship) they were on the lookout for certain circumstances. 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.
