(RMHC JACKSONVILLE). IT IS LOCATED ADJACENT TO WOLFSON CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL AND NEMOURS CHILDREN'S CLINIC AND CONTINUES TO SEE HIGH OCCUPANCY, AVERAGING 91%. ADDITIONALLY, OTHER MEDICAL FACILITIES REGULARLY REFER FAMILIES TO THE HOUSE PROGRAM, INCLUDING THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA HEALTH JACKSONVILLE, BROOKS REHABILITATION AND UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA PROTON THERAPY INSTITUTE. WITH ONLY NINE PROTON FACILITIES IN THE COUNTRY AND LESS TREATING CHILDREN, JACKSONVILLE IS SEEING CHILDREN COMING FROM ALL OVER THE U.S. AND OTHER COUNTRIES INCLUDING THE UK. THE HOUSE HAS ACCOMMODATED AS MANY AS 14 FAMILIES AT A TIME FROM ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL SEEKING THIS 6-8 WEEK OUTPATIENT TREATMENT. THE TREND IS CONTINUING INTO 2013. THE THIRTY BEDROOM HOUSE INCLUDES FOUR SPECIALITY DESIGNED EASILY CLEANED UNITS FOR CHILDREN WITH CANCER AND OTHER COMPLEX CONDITIONS, A LARGE DOUBLE KITCHEN, DINING ROOM, LAUNDRY ROOMS, ACTIVITY AND PLAY ROOMS, A BUSINESS CENTER, EXERCISE ROOM, AND MUCH MORE. THERE ARE ALSO ROOMS FOR FAMILIES WHOSE CHILDREN, AS OUTPATIENTS, HAVE A NEED FOR CONTINUED SUPPORT. A VAN DRIVEN BY STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS TAKES FAMILIES TO AND FROM THE HOSPITALS AND CLINICS AS NEEDED. SICK AND INJURED CHILDREN RESPOND TO HOSPITAL TREATMENT MUCH MORE READILY WHEN THEIR FAMILIES ARE NEARBY. THAT IS THE REASON FOR THE FIRST RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE OVER 40 YEARS AGO AND IS STILL TRUE TODAY IN JACKSONVILLE. THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL OFFERING TEMPORARY LODGING FOR OVER 31,600 FAMILIES IN ITS TWENTY-FOUR YEARS IN JACKSONVILLE. THE HOUSE REGULARLY OFFERS MANY VOLUNTEER-LED RECREATIONAL AND SUPPORTIVE PROGRAMS FOR OUR FAMILIES, INCLUDING ART AND PET THERAPY, MUSIC PROGRAMS, AND EVEN BINGO. THE JACKSONVILLE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE IS THE FIRST HOUSE IN THE UNITED STATES TO HAVE A FULL-TIME CERTIFIED ASSISTANCE DOG. THE 42,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING OCCUPIED BY RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE PROGRAM IS MAINTAINED TO HIGH STANDARDS UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE BOARD AND STAFF FACILITY MANAGER, WHO HAS BEEN ON STAFF MORE THAN 13 YEARS, AND PROGRAM MANAGER ON STAFF MORE THAN 15 YEARS. VOLUNTEERS ASSIST STAFF AND PART-TIME HOUSEKEEPING IN A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO MAINTAIN THE ENTIRE HOUSE AS A SAFE, SECURE, AND CLEAN ENVIRONMENT FOR EVERYONE UTILIZING THIS SPECIAL HOME AWAY FROM HOME. A FEASIBILITY STUDY AND DATA ANALYSIS WAS COMMISSIONED IN 2011 AND COMPLETED IN FEBRUARY 2012 TO DETERMINE THE HEALTHCARE TRENDS IN JACKSONVILLE AND LONG RANGE NEED FOR EXPANSION OF THE HOUSE PROGRAM. AN EXPANSION OF UP TO 18 BEDROOMS PLUS A LONG RANGE MASTER PLAN FOR PROGRAM NEEDS WAS RECOMMENDED. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS MOVED FORWARD WITH A LICENSING APPLICATION TO GLOBAL RMHC AND DESIGN PLANNING FOR THE EXPANSION TO MEET THE GROWING NEED AND FREQUENT WAITING LIST. LIKE A HOSPITAL, CAPACITY IS CONSIDERED 80% OCCUPANCY, AND THE HOUSE AVERAGED 91% IN 2012, WITH OVER 97% THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2013. THE NEED IS CLEAR AND IS BEING ADDRESSED. ANOTHER RMHC JACKSONVILLE CORE PROGRAM SINCE 1993 IS A RESOURCE FOR LOCAL FAMILIES INSIDE WOLFSON CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. IT IS CALLED THE RONALD MCDONALD FAMILY ROOM. RMHC JACKSONVILLE TRAINED VOLUNTEERS OFFER REFRESHMENTS, ACTIVITIES AND A LISTENING EAR RIGHT IN THAT AREA THAT HAS BEEN ADAPTED FOR THIS SPECIAL LICENSED PROGRAM. THE RONALD MCDONALD FAMILY ROOM PROVIDES DAILY RESPITE FOR PARENTS, PATIENTS AND SIBLINGS AND IS LOCALLY FUNDED. RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES OF JACKSONVILLE PARTNERS WITH ST. VINCENT'S HEALTHCARE TO LICENSE ANOTHER CORE PROGRAM, THE RONALD MCDONALD CARE MOBILE, A MEDICAL VAN THAT PROVIDES PHYSICALS AND VACCINATIONS AT TARGETED FULL SERVICE SCHOOLS IN DUVAL COUNTY, FLORIDA, NOW IN ITS NINTH YEAR OF OPERATION AS PART OF THE HOSPITAL'S MOBILE MINISTRY. IN 2010, RMHC JACKSONVILLE BEGAN ANOTHER GLOBAL PROGRAM TO EXPAND ITS MISSION, SPECIFICALLY FOR LOCAL CHILDREN'S HEALTHCARE ISSUES. WITH FUNDING FROM DONATIONS COLLECTED IN AREA MCDONALD'S RESTAURANTS AND MATCHED BY GLOBAL RMHC, RMHC JACKSONVILLE GRANTED TWO LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS FUNDING. IN 2012, THE GRANTS PROGRAM INCLUDED GRANTS TO TWO ORGANIZATIONS, FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES OF NORTH FLORIDA, INC., HELPING FOSTER CHILDREN WITH DENTAL NEEDS AND THE YMCA FIRST COAST TIGER ACADEMY TO HELP CHILDREN WITH READING DEFICIENCIES. THE TOTAL GRANT FUNDING FROM RMHC JACKSONVILLE WAS $20,000 WITH ADDITIONAL 100% MATCH FROM GLOBAL RMHC. RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES OF JACKSONVILLE IS LICENSED BY MCDONALD'S TO USE THE BRAND NAME WHICH IS UNIVERSALLY RECOGNIZED. TODAY, THE MCDONALD'S CORPORATION CONTINUES TO PROVIDE OUR PROGRAMS WITH VALUABLE TRAINING AND NETWORK OPPORTUNITIES. HOWEVER, LIKE EVERY RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES CHAPTER, WE DEPEND ON OUR OWN COMMUNITY FOR THE MAJORITY OF ANNUAL FINANCIAL SUPPORT, FROM PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS, CORPORATE AND INDIVIDUAL GIFTS AND PLEDGES, AND IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS. ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, WE COUNT ON BOTH CASH AND IN-KIND GIFTS AS WELL AS FUNDRAISING EVENTS FOR REVENUES, AND WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE RECEIVED OVER $500,000 IN PROGRAM IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS FOR 2012, INCLUDING NEW BEDS FOR EACH GUEST ROOM! THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OVERSEES THEIR FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITIES, INCLUDING WORKING WITH AN INDEPENDENT CPA FIRM FOR AN OUTSIDE AUDIT AND COMPILATION AND REVIEW OF THE MONTHLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. AN INDEPENDENT ADVISORY SUB-COMMITTEE OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE ALSO OVERSEES INVESTMENTS ON A SEMIANNUAL BASIS. IN 2012, THE HOUSE PROGRAM SERVED MORE THAN 1,100 FAMILIES. DUE TO FULL CAPACITY, 149 FAMILIES WERE REFERRED TO OUR PARTNER HOTELS FOR A SPECIAL RMHC JACKSONVILLE RATE OF $20 PER NIGHT. THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY IS ABOUT 8 DAYS, WITH NEARLY 40% OF FAMILIES STAYING JUST ONE NIGHT, BUT WITH MANY STAYING EIGHT TO TEN WEEKS. THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE IS THE ONLY PROGRAM HELPING THIS POPULATION OF FAMILIES IN NEED OF BEING CLOSE TO THE HOSPITAL WHILE THEIR CRITICALLY ILL OR INJURED CHILD IS BEING TREATED IN JACKSONVILLE. THE GOALS INCLUDE REDUCING THE STRESS FAMILIES ARE UNDER IN THIS SITUATION, PROVIDING SOME NORMALCY FOR THE FAMILY AND PROVIDING NEEDED RESOURCES AND REFERRALS. THERE IS A REQUESTED CONTRIBUTION OF $20 AT CHECK-IN AND WHEN FAMILIES CHECK OUT, THEY ARE ENCOURAGED TO HELP BY CONTRIBUTING $10 PER NIGHT. THIS PRACTICE HAS ALLOWED FAMILIES TO FEEL THEY ARE PART OF THE PROGRAM, NOT JUST TAKING A HANDOUT, BUT NO ONE IS EVER TURNED AWAY FOR INABILITY TO PAY, AND 58% OF THE FAMILIES SELF IDENTIFY AS LOW OR EXTREMELY LOW INCOME BY THE HUD STANDARDS. EVEN WHEN A FAMILY CAN MAKE A CONTRIBUTION, IT DOESN'T OFFSET THE $100+ PER FAMILY IN EXPENSES PER NIGHT TO RUN THE PROGRAM. THEREFORE FUNDRAISING IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY IS COUNTED ON TO MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE. SOME 2012 STASTICS FOR THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE PROGRAM IN JACKSONVILLE: -OVER 2,000 VOLUNTEERS LOGGED 21,600 VOLUNTEER HOURS FOR A VALUE EQUAL TO 10 FULL TIME STAFF MEMBERS. -67% OF THE FAMILIES WHO CAME TO OUR RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE LAST YEAR WERE FROM FLORIDA - FROM CITIES WHERE THEY COULDN'T RECEIVE THE SPECIALITY CARE JACKSONVILLE OFFERS. -68% OF THE FAMILIES WHO STAYED OVERNIGHT INCLUDED THEIR CHILD PATIENT WITH THEM AT THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE. -VOLUNTEERS PROVIDE DINNER FOR THE FAMILIES EVERY NIGHT OF THE YEAR, AND DONATED ITEMS STOCK A PANTRY FOR SNACKS AND QUICK MEALS. -EXIT SURVEY STATS - 100% RATED THAT SERVICES PROVIDED NEEDED MENTAL/PHYSICAL WELL-BEING FOR THE FAMILY UNIT. 91% RATED THAT STAYING AT THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE HIGHLY REDUCED STRESS. 97% OF FAMILIES INDICATED THAT SERVICES/BASIC NEEDS HELPED THEM DURING ENROLLMENT. -VOLUNTEERS WHO MAKE UP SPEAKERS' BUREAU FOR THE HOUSE SHARED THE STORY OF THE ORGANIZATION WITH ANOTHER 1837 PEOPLE IN 2012. -64 MEETINGS OF HEALTH RELATED SUPPORT GROUPS WERE HELD IN THE HOUSE'S COMMUNITY MEETING ROOM, WHICH IS ALSO USED DAILY FOR FAMILY AND VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES. 386 PLANNED ACTIVITIES WERE SCHEDULED FOR THE HOUSE FAMILIES WITH NEARLY 2,000 PEOPLE PARTICIPATING. 1599030 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false true 6 0 true 30 true false false false false false true true false false false false X 29 29 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false FL SC X X SUSAN GENDZIER 9048074663 824 Childrens Way Jacksonville FL 32207 JONATHAN ANDERSON 0.5 X WESLEY BEAN 0.5 X MATT CONNELL 0.5 X AUSTIN CURTIS CUNKLE 2.0 X X JAMES DALTON 0.5 X MICHAEL ERHARD MD 0.5 X BETSY FALLON 0.5 X FRANCES FOWLER 0.5 X BRIAN FULLER 0.5 X WILLIAM VAN ZANTE 0.5 X MICHAEL KENDALL 0.5 X MEG KUCHAR 0.5 X KARA LEONARD 0.5 X KRISTEN MCLAUCHLAN 0.5 X LEITH OATMAN 0.5 X KELLI O'LEARY 0.5 X ROB PAXTON 2.0 X X JAY PLOTKIN 0.5 X RICK RAWALD 0.5 X SHANNON FARLING SCOTT 0.5 X RYAN SCHWARTZ 2.0 X X KENNETH R THOMPSON 0.5 X HOLLY TYRELL 0.5 X O WAYNE YOUNG 2.0 X X AMBER ANTHONY 0.5 X JERRY BRIDGHAM MD 0.5 X PATTI DEBEAR 0.5 X GREG HOLLAND 0.5 X MARK LAMPING 0.5 X Joy Hardaker 40.0 X 138430 0 9226 138430 0 9226 1 false false false 0 39768 537533 50047 1318531 586689 1945879 ROOM CONTRIBUTIONS 900099 106657 106657 106657 219409 219409 0 0 0 0 0 3140268 3006680 133588 133588 133588 107330 537533 106874 456 456 0 0 VENDING MACHINE 900099 4300 4300 4300 2410289 106657 357753 20000 20000 0 0 0 138430 99168 18106 21156 0 509599 365063 66656 77880 10811 7745 1414 1652 37091 26571 4852 5668 44945 32197 5879 6869 0 0 39230 19615 19615 0 0 70117 70117 84354 42177 36230 5947 0 71288 35529 12524 23235 0 0 141726 138905 2821 13971 13311 367 293 0 4923 4185 492 246 0 0 192092 188250 3842 70215 68811 1404 PROGRAM SUPPLIES 415690 415690 0 0 Utilities 103891 101813 2078 0 INDIRECT FUND RAISING EXPENSE 40390 0 0 40390 OUTREACH EXPENSES 20000 20000 0 0 71882 71882 2100645 1599030 318279 183336 62 55 1093009 1134106 60729 0 11238 60747 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 73987 47475 8786868 2394188 6316896 6392680 6622421 7336010 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14178342 14971073 19244 47705 0 0 10000 6325 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14250 11596 43494 65626 X 11862534 12480302 1000 216634 2271314 2208511 14134848 14905447 14178342 14971073 309644 460955 X X false true X true false X 1512954 1453490 1628907 1491383 2056139 8142873 0 0 1512954 1453490 1628907 1491383 2056139 8142873 890900 7251973 242345 140824 330503 242250 219409 1175331 0 11916 3867 3495 4173 4300 27751 9345955 752580 0.77595 0.82430 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1751314 7197 191631 74997 1875145 1748639 2675 23732 23732 1751314 1621357 127282 210174 210074 1748739 1562359 58998 183666 183666 1621357 1.00000 450000 1126142 1576142 6382963 1806402 4576561 827763 587786 239977 6392680 0 CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATION 11596 11596 X 2988808 460955 10690 106874 578519 2410289 2410289 2218209 10690 106874 117564 2100645 2100645 PART V, LINE 4 THE ORGANIZATION, PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED GIFTS TOTALING $1,285,807 TO ESTABLISH THE CHILDREN'S LEGACY FUND ENDOWMENT.
