This year, the Institute program continued funding of three research laboratories: Burke Rehabilitation Hospital, University of Southern California School of Medicine and University of California Los Angeles Medical School; in addition, 17 fellowships and special gifts to medical schools and hospitals, in pulmonary research. Current sponsored programs at the three main 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; and advanced methods of delivering pulmonary rehabilitation 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. The following medical schools and hospitals received research fellowships and special gifts restricted to pulmonary research purposes: University of Southern California, University of Colorado, Emory University, University of California, Los Angeles, University of Massachusetts, University of Minnesota, University of Pennsylvania, University of Texas, Northwestern University, University of Wisconsin, and New York University. The WRI program is also funding unique research and training programs at Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center (Knoxville, TN), Children's Mercy Hospital (Kansas City, MO), the ALS Association (joint partnership for a three-year research study regarding pulmonary issue for people with ALS), and the American Association of Health Educators.In 2009, WRI partnered with the Regal Entertainment Foundation for a three year initiative to give a total of $3 million to three healthcare facilities in Knoxville for cardio-pulmonary health programs. Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death for people living in Eastern Tennessee and surrounding states. East Tennessee is one of the nation's lowest ranking states for air quality and ranks highest in smoking rates. Cardiovascular disease, stroke, asthma and lung cancer are the leading healthcare issues in the region. Knoxville has four medical centers serving the region. Three institutions will receive grants: Mercy Hospital for a new vascular lab, University of Tennessee Medical Center for a permanently funded pulmonary fellow, and Parkwest Medical Center to fund a new thoracic medical suite. Also in 2009, the WRI presented for a third time, the Annual Prize for Outstanding Contributions to Lung Research. This annual prize is awarded on a yearly basis to an eminent scientist for a body of extraordinary and meritorious research contributing to the advancement of lung health. In 2009, the prize was give to Dr. Bruce Beutler, who is recognized as one the leading experts in the world on the topic of innate immunity and inflammation, a vital component of study for pulmonary research. Again, the honoree received a personal stipend of $50,000. Currently, the WRI offers the most prestigious prize and recognition offered to a person specializing in research that has a direct impact on pulmonary health, in the United States.For 2009, the WRI continued funding the purchase of neonatal ventilator equipment at hospitals across the USA, spending $400,000 on this program. The list of recipient hospitals is as follows: Children's Hospital New Orleans, Le Bonher Children's Medical Center in Memphis, Oakwood Healthcare in Dearborn, Michigan, Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado, Rilay Hospital in Indianapolis, Children's Hospital St. Louis, St. Mary's Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin, University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore, Warren Memorial Hospital in Front Royal, Virginia. 1136284 694532 Patient Assistance ProgramThe Pioneer Assistance Fund, another program of the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation, provides industry veterans of the theatrical community (exhibition, distribution and trade services) with financial assistance for health and welfare issues. This year, the Fund provided long-term assistance to 37 clients and short-term assistance to 166 clients. Client ailments included bone, joint and muscle disorders; brain, spinal cord and nerve disorders; heart and blood vessel disorders; lung and airway disorders; mental health issues; and financial hardship, to name a few. The median age for a long-term assistance recipient is 74, while the majority of short-term clients fall into the age group of 40-59 years of age. In 2009, the Assistance Program started distributing life planning booklets to supporters and those in need. There are a total of 27 booklets, with titles such as "Senior Housing," Saving for Retirement," and "Geriatric Care Managers." Pioneers Assistance Fund information can be found at www.wrpioneers.org 724525 Health EducationThe secondary mission of the Will Rogers Institute, a program is to educate the public about its pulmonary research and fellowship programs coupled with how to lead a healthy lifestyle. The WRI continues to distribute public service announcements on an annual basis, for both theatrical and television audiences. Print public service announcements and a CD with twelve different health topics for radio is also distributed annually. Celebrities, who donate their time, are featured in the public service announcements. The 2009 public service announcement on "Diabetes" featured John Ratzenberger. The PSA received playtime at 420 theatrical locations and played in 4,000 auditoriums, on radio stations in 11 major markets, and on 476 television stations (including cable) and played over 1,200 times. The PSA was also featured on 70 web sites, with an estimated audience reach of 70 million. The annual summer theatrical public service announcement, hosted by Sharon Stone played on over 12,000 movie screens. The Will Rogers Institute's web site continues to receive approximately 100,000 visitors per year. In response, the Institute distributed 18,000 free educational booklets and provided downloads for another 10,000 requests. The health topics included asthma, tuberculosis, smoking, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, lung cancer, fitness, stress, and nutrition. In addition to our comprehensive booklet on Managing COPD, the WRI continues to support the efforts of the COPD Coalition (a National Institutes of Health campaign) to help educate the country on the epidemic of COPD, the 4th leading cause of death in the USA.In 2009, the WRI continued its partnership with the National Boys and Girls Club and its Be Healthy, Be Fit, Be Great Award. The award is given annually to a local branch of the Boys and Girls Club that has shown exemplary methods of promoting healthy and active lifestyles. The local club received a $5,000 grant to implement its triple play program, which promotes nutrition, health and fitness to members and their families. The award this year was given to the Bentonville, Arkansas club.Will Rogers Institute Information can be found at www.wrinstitute.org Will Rogers EducationThe WRMPPF, as well as being a health charity, also has the mission of perpetuating the memory of the great humanitarian Will Rogers. This year, WRMPPF funded the completion of digitizing the writings, which includes four volumes of Will Rogers Daily Telegrams and the first six volumes of his Weekly Articles. All the writings are now posted on the Will Rogers Museum web site, www.willrogers.org. The WRMPPF also works with the Will Rogers Ranch Foundation in Los Angeles, California. Together, the two organizations produced a free public movie night at the Will Rogers State Park, attended by over 300 people (showing a classic Will Rogers movie). The WRMPPF also took an active role in helping the Ranch Foundation develop a membership program, develop an organizational structure and build its development program.Information about the Will Rogers Ranch Foundation can be found at www.willrogersranchfoundation.org 5319841 true true false false false false false false false true true true false false false false false true false true false 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 17 0 true 8 true false false false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false 48 47 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true true false false false WV WI WA VA UT TN SC RI PA OR OK OH NY NM NJ NH ND NC MS MO MN MI ME MD MA LA KY KS IL GA FL DC CT CA AZ AR AL X X X TODD R VRADENBURG 8187552300 10045 RIVERSIDE DRIVE TOLUCA LAKE CA 91602 WAYNE LEWELLEN 1.00 X 0 0 0 TRAVIS REID 1.00 X X 0 0 0 TOM SHERAK 1.00 X 0 0 0 TODD R VRADENBURG 50.00 X 294348 0 41578 TED COOPER 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEWART HARNELL 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEVEN FRIEDLANDER 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE RAPAPORT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 STEVE ELZER 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHEILA DELOACH 1.00 X 0 0 0 RORY BRUER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ROBERT SUNSHINE 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ROBERT LENIHAN 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICK SANDS 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD M FAY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 NIKKI ROCCO 1.00 X X 0 0 0 NICK CARPOU 1.00 X 0 0 0 NANCY KLUETER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL PADE 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL L CAMPBELL 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARY ANN ANDERSON 1.00 X 0 0 0 LEW O'NEIL 1.00 X 0 0 0 KURT C HALL 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN LUNDIN 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN FITHIAN 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOE SYUFY 1.00 X 0 0 0 JIM THARP 1.00 X 0 0 0 JIM ORR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JEROME A FORMAN 1.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF GOLDSTEIN 1.00 X X 0 0 0 HANK LIGHTSTONE 1.00 X 0 0 0 GREG DUNN 1.00 X 0 0 0 FRED BEIERSDORF 1.00 X 0 0 0 ERIK LOMIS 1.00 X 0 0 0 DENISE K GURIN 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID TUCKERMAN 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID GAREL 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DANIEL R FELLMAN 1.00 X 0 0 0 CLARK WOODS 1.00 X X 0 0 0 CHUCK VIANE 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS LEROY 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS ARONSON 1.00 X X 0 0 0 CHARLES GOLDWATER 1.00 X 0 0 0 CARL WAGNER 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRUCE SNYDER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 BRUCE J OLSON 1.00 X 0 0 0 BERT LIVINGSTON 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANN-ELIZABETH CROTTY 1.00 X 0 0 0 294348 41578 1 false true false 0 48250 34700 4830602 4913552 0 542685 542685 0 0 0 8376448 560 8727657 -351209 560 -350649 560 -351209 18980 34700 19508 -528 -528 0 0 0 5105060 560 190948 3391000 3391000 688488 688488 6044 6044 0 294747 147373 73687 73687 0 371238 215732 87128 68378 35075 19291 8418 7366 97666 53716 23440 20510 41609 27046 5825 8738 0 9597 9597 61315 61315 0 0 113583 96546 6815 10222 0 0 15037 4222 6593 4222 0 0 71280 23760 23760 23760 20592 13380 1184 6028 0 0 0 0 14822 5928 4447 4447 33756 11252 11252 11252 SUMMER THEATER PSA 106001 106001 Printing and Publications 90327 46838 18596 24893 Postage and Shipping 66567 22189 22189 22189 HEALTH EDUCATION 498244 498244 DONOR RECOGNITION 79777 79777 188935 48792 37499 102644 6295700 5319841 401745 574114 3692903 2817231 2092137 3096757 900000 757820 0 0 0 0 0 50000 0 179753 102224 88753 77529 13239281 15744678 0 0 22261 19855 150176 168380 20235511 22682250 991139 601927 1466250 28275 47892 1019414 2116069 X 15813170 17668053 3402927 2898128 19216097 20566181 20235511 22682250 X false true true X false false X 5648548 6347340 4450276 5834003 4913552 27193719 0 0 0 0 5648548 6347340 4450276 5834003 4913552 27193719 0 0 27193719 561192 690708 753143 632737 542685 3180465 0 561192 690708 753143 632737 542685 3180465 0 0 30374184 0.89530 0.90160 0.10470 0.09840 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3402926 571005 1152277 72373 2749281 4049795 1406576 1108889 944555 3402927 1.00000 false false false 1 1 18382 3006 15376 66685 44188 22497 94685 55030 39655 77529 457 PLAN LIABILITY 47892 47892 5105060 6295700 -1190640 2540725 2540725 1350085 8191622 2540725 526329 19508 3086562 5105060 5105060 6841537 526329 19508 545837 6295700 6295700 Part XIII, Line 2d Part XIII, Line 2d: Other expenses and losses per audited F/S SPECIAL EVENT EXP.

The MOTION PICTURE Pioneers Assistance FUND Program is managed by professional social workers. The individuals who receive assistance are placed into two broad categories long-term or short-term assistance. The individuals who receive long-term assistance are represented in Direct Cash Assistance. The majority of the expenses are paid directly to vendors.Direct Cash Assistance is justified for the following needs: Health Insurance, Dental insurance, Prescription co-pays, Home Health Care, Rent, Food and Clothing, Medical Supplies, Home Supplies (i.e. sheets and fixtures), and Transportation. Additional Supplemental Information Direct Cash Grants:This program provides direct cash grants to low-income retired/permanently disabled entertainment industry members/spouses. 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.
