The first few years of this campaign are acquisition years. We are paying to accumulate donors that will be cultivated for future gifts. The long term revenue streams from these donors will greatly outweigh the expenses incurred for such mailings. This is our fourth year utilizing these services. In 2012, we saw our revenues exceed our expenses for the second year in a row as we have already built up a donor base to cultivate as we are acquiring new donors. We are using a "pay as you grow" model. This means that we are not required to pay the expenses until the revenue income is available.

RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES OF KANSAS CITY, INC. OWNS AND OPERATES TWO RONALD MCDONALD HOUSES IN KANSAS CITY, PROVIDING TEMPORARY LODGING FOR FAMILIES OF SERIOUSLY ILL CHILDREN WHO MUST LEAVE THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES TO SEEK MEDICAL CARE FOR THEIR CHILD. IN ADDITION, A THIRD FACILITY CALLED THE FAMILY ROOM IS OPERATED BY RMHC-KC INSIDE OF CHILDREN'S MERCY HOSPITAL. THE ORGANIZATION'S FIRST RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE OPENED IN 1981 NEAR THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS MEDICAL CENTER AT 1901 OLATHE BLVD. (41ST & STATE LINE ROAD) IN KANSAS CITY, KANSAS. THE 11-BEDROOM FACILITY SERVED 581 FAMILIES IN THE FINAL FULL YEAR OF OPERATIONS (2005) FROM THROUGHOUT THE MIDWEST. THIS HOUSE CLOSED IN MARCH OF 2006 WHEN THE NEW RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE IN LONGFELLOW PARK OPENED FOR SERVICE. THE ORGANIZATION'S SECOND RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE, CHERRY STREET, OPENED IN 1988 NEAR CHILDREN'S MERCY HOSPITAL AT 2501 CHERRY STREET IN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI. IT IS A 19-BEDROOM FACILITY. THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY FOR THE FAMILIES AT THE CHERRY STREET HOUSE IS JUST OVER NINE DAYS. THE THIRD RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE, LONGFELLOW, OPENED IN 2006. THIS HOUSE IS A 41-BEDROOM FACILITY LOCATED ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE CHERRY STREET HOUSE AT 2502 CHERRY STREET. THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY IN THE STANDARD ROOMS AT LONGFELLOW IS NINE DAYS.

LUKE'S HOSPITAL, SHAWNEE MISSION MEDICAL CENTER, THE REHABILITATION INSTITUTE, AND OVERLAND PARK REGIONAL HOSPITAL. IN 2012, THE TWO KANSAS CITY RONALD MCDONALD HOUSES SERVED MORE THAN 2,100 FAMILIES WITH A COMBINED AVERAGE OCCUPANCY OF 94%. THE MOST COMMON PATIENT DIAGNOSES INCLUDED CARDIAC COMPLICATIONS, CANCER, PREMATURE BIRTH, AND SURGERIES. A MAJORITY OF THESE FAMILIES RESIDE IN KANSAS (56%) AND MISSOURI (39%). FAMILIES OF SERIOUSLY ILL CHILDREN AGE 21 OR YOUNGER ARE ELIGIBLE TO STAY AT THE KANSAS CITY RONALD MCDONALD HOUSES WITH PRIORITY BEING GIVEN TO THOSE FAMILIES WHO RESIDE OUTSIDE OF KANSAS CITY BY AT LEAST 35 MILES AND THEY ARE REFERRED BY THE HOSPITAL WHERE THEIR CHILD IS RECEIVING CARE. WHILE THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR OUR SERVICES, DONATIONS OF $10 PER NIGHT ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED TO ENSURE THESE SERVICES CONTINUE TO BE AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE GUESTS. NO FAMILY IS EVER TURNED AWAY DUE TO THEIR INABILITY TO MAKE A DONATION. LINE 4B: The organization also operates the Ronald McDonald Family Room, an extension program of Ronald McDonald House Charities providing respite in a home-like environment inside Children's Mercy Hospital. The Family Room opened in 1997 and provides all the comforts of home and seven overnight rooms for families whose children are receiving care in the intensive care units. In 2012, more than 2,800 families received lodging at the Ronald McDonald House Family Room and more than 45,000 visits to the Family Room were logged by families of in-patients at Children's Mercy Hospital. The number of visitors to the Family Room decreased over last year as a result of the room being temporarily closed for a complete renovation. All in-patient families at Children's Mercy Hospital are eligible to use the Family Room during the day, and the seven overnight rooms are available to families whose children are in the hospital's intensive care units. The majority of the organization's operating funds are raised through fundraising activities and donations from the community. Our two annual special events include our Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City Trent Green Golf Classic and the Red Shoe Shindig. In-kind donations are solicited for goods and services the Ronald McDonald Houses and Family Room need regularly, such as laundry supplies and service, long-distance phone cards for guests, soft drinks, meals and pantry supplies, paper products, pest control, cleaning supplies, etc. Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City would not be able to carry out its mission without the support of volunteers. In 2012 alone, 196 In-House Volunteers assisted our families for an average of eight to ten hours a month. 1,250 groups participated in the Cooks for Kids program, and 120 corporations, schools and churches participated in our work group program. There were nearly 200 individuals who volunteered to organize, plan and staff multiple fundraising events and special projects, including the Red Shoe Shindig and the Trent Green Golf Classic.
