I, too, want to share one of my own family’s precious memories of the Ronald McDonald House. It was Christmas Eve twelve years ago when my sister, a singlemom, was a guest at the Ronald McDonald House near Shriner’s Hospital in Philadelphia. My then 5-year old niece, Sydney, was undergoing medical treatment for a rare spinal tumor. After spending an evening with the other families feasting on turkey with trimmings, unwrapping presents, and singing Christmas carols, it was time to retire to their room for the night. Sydney was playing with her new Barbie doll she had just received from Santa earlier that evening, when she looked up at my sister with big blue eyes and a wide grin and happily announced, “Mommy, I guess I’m kinda lucky to have cancer, because if I didn’t we wouldn’t be here at the Ronald McDonald House!” My sister later told me she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at that moment, but just the realization that her daughter was happy and that they would always share that wonderful memory, even during the toughest time of their lives, was all that mattered. Sydney is now a happy, healthy high school senior looking forward to college next year. As we all prepare to embrace a new year, I want to thank our generous donors, loyal sponsors, and dedicated volunteers for helping us make it through the economic challenges of 2011. Because of all of you, Ronald McDonald Charities House will be able to provide our much-needed services and programs to an even greater number of children and their families in 2012. As the new Executive Director, I look forward to 2012 with a renewed sense of purpose and commitment to helping all of the families who come through our doors every day of the year in search of compassion, shelter, and respite from the personal storms in their lives.

Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC®) of Greater Las Vegas makes this possible by providing a “home-away-from-home” at the Ronald McDonald House® (RMH®) for families who travel to Las Vegas to receive critical medical treatment for their children. In addition to the House, RMHC of Greater Las Vegas also creates and supports programs that directly improve the health, education and well-being of children in our community. RMHC’s programs benefit thousands of children and families each year. Programs • Lunch is On Us delivers lunches to families staying with their children at local hospitals. • The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile® provides dental care to children in five rural Nevada counties. • The RMHC Scholarship Program awards scholarships to local high school seniors. History In 1973, Fred Hill, a football player with the Philadelphia Eagles, had a daughter being treated for Leukemia at the Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia. During her three years of treatment, Fred and his wife Fran often camped out on hospital chairs and ate makeshift meals out of vending machines. Fred rallied the support of his Eagles teammates and the Philadelphia McDonald’s owner/ operators and together they created the very first Ronald McDonald House, which opened its doors in 1974. Today, there are over 300 Ronald McDonald Houses in 31 countries around the world. In Las Vegas, the community effort to establish a House involved the Junior League of Las Vegas, local McDonald’s owner/operators and other members of the community. In 1998, the Las Vegas Ronald McDonald House opened its doors to its very first family. 54 Families Statistics based on 217 family stays from Jan. - Dec., 2010. Only highest values represented.

Or, maybe it is that she has already experienced more in her four young years than most of us experience in a lifetime. A misdiagnosis in her home country of Ethiopia led to delayed treatment for Lilian, who has Leukemia. If it weren’t for her father’s insistence on getting an immediate second opinion here in the United States, Lilian might not even be alive today. Having rushed his seriously ill daughter to America, there had been no time for Lilian’s father to make plans for a long-term stay before they arrived in Las Vegas. Sunrise Children’s Hospital referred the family to the Las Vegas Ronald McDonald House, where Lilian’s dad says he was amazed by the warm welcome they received. “I have never met such nice people,” her father said. “Everyone is so incredibly caring. The Ronald McDonald House has been a true blessing for us.” But it has not been easy for the family, whose number one priority is Lilian’s medical treatment. She is undergoing a grueling chemotherapy protocol to attack the Leukemia that went untreated for so long. Lilian’s dad remains at his daughter’s side full-time, while her mother stayed behind in Ethiopia to care for their two other young children. “Lilian misses her mom terribly, but she is so strong and so good. She never complains. She is a survivor!” According to the family, the name Lilian means “God is my vow.” Lilian’s dad says his family’s strong faith will see them through this challenge in their lives, and knowing they have the support of the Ronald McDonald House staff, volunteers, and other families with them every step of the way gives the family even more peace of mind. 6 6 Lilian Volunteer Spotlight Kohl’s Cares Kohl’s first approached RMHC in May 2011 wanting to help once a month with our Lunch is On Us program. We put them on the schedule to volunteer on the third Wednesday of each month, and since then they have consistently provided at least five volunteers every month. They can be found in the kitchen at the House in bright purple shirts preparing 120 lunches for that day’s hospital delivery. When the first Kohl’s phone call came in, we had no idea what we were in for! Kohl’s has a program called Kohl’s Associates in Action. When a minimum of five Kohl’s Associates volunteer at least three consecutive hours for a qualifying nonprofit organization, the organization earns a grant of $500. In July, the House celebrated its 13th Birthday. To commemorate the event, RMHC teamed up with Kohl’s to host a Wish List Drive for much needed household items. The very next weekend, a birthday party was held at the House. Kohl’s volunteers from every store in the Las Vegas area participated in these events, raising over $8,000 for RMHC. They have also volunteered at the 5K Run in May, the volunteer appreciation luncheon in August and the gala dinner in September. RMHC volunteers help our staff deliver quality service and increase efficiency in operating our programs. The Kohl’s Associates in Action mission states: “We believe that everybody has the ability to make a difference.” And Kohl’s has certainly made a difference at the Ronald McDonald House. In less than six months, Kohl’s Associates in Action have logged over 200 hours of volunteer time and a total of over $14,000 has been donated to RMHC. This program not only encourages volunteerism, but also provides much needed financial support to the organizations these volunteers help. “Because every dollar counts, and every hand helps.” Thank you Kohl’s for your time and commitment to RMHC! 9 Care Mobile In partnership with Nevada Health Center’s Miles for Smiles, RMHC launched a state-of-the-art mobile dental unit in 2005 to provide access to dental care for under-served children in five rural counties in Nevada. To date, the program has served over 4,700 children. Most children seen on the Care Mobile live in very rural communities and are either uninsured or have Medicaid. With little or no access to a dental provider and the lack of financial resources, the Care Mobile has been the only option for many children and families. Recognizing that education is the key to prevention, the program also makes several oral health presentations to students during the school year. Give Kids A Smile Day 10 10 Each year, RMHC of Greater Las Vegas, Miles for Smiles and the Northeastern Nevada Coalition for Oral Health co-sponsor a project to recognize Children’s Dental Health Month by bringing the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile to five rural Nevada communities. The Care Mobile parks at the McDonald’s restaurant in each location, and provides children with free visual dental screenings, fluoride varnish, oral health supplies and educational information. Local dentists in each of the communities volunteer their time to do the screenings, community health nurses in the coalition volunteer to apply the varnish, and other coalition members and volunteers help with paperwork, patient flow, and education efforts. A Smile To Be Proud Of In the spring of 2011, the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile visited Winnemucca, a small town just outside of Elko, NV. On that trip, a three year old patient made quite an impact on the entire Care Mobile staff: “A foster child was in need of urgent dental care due to an abscessed tooth. His three-year old face was extremely swollen and it was apparent that he was in pain. There were no dental providers in Winnemucca that accepted Medicaid and the foster father was out of town working. The little boy’s foster mother was left with very few options, as she was unable to travel out of town due to car trouble. “ “When she found out that the Care Mobile was going to be in town, she immediately called to set up an appointment for him. When they arrived, the dental assistant took time to make the child feel at ease since it was his first-ever dental appointment. In no time at all, she had him smiling and comfortable so that the dentist could evaluate his abscessed tooth.” “The little boy felt so at ease that the team was able to extract his severely decayed front tooth right there on the Care Mobile. Afterwards, the assistant looked down to find tears running down the child’s cheeks. When asked why he was crying, he replied that it was because he was so happy that his tooth would not be hurting any more.” Karl Scholarship Recipient Born in Togo, Africa, Koko “Karl” Kumodzi came to the United States at the age of four – full of hope and determined to “save the world.” He graduated from Valley High School in Las Vegas in 2010 as Valedictorian of his class, and is currently attending Stanford University, where he is studying International Relations. Karl received a RMHC scholarship as a high school graduate in 2010 and was selected again as an alumni recipient in 2011. When Karl Kumodzi was 7 years old, he wanted to be a superhero. But after years of trying to fly and move objects with his mind, Karl had to accept the painful fact that he did not have any superpowers. “In hindsight, I realized why I wanted to be a superhero so badly,” Karl says. “Because even as a child, I wanted to change the world rather than wait for someone else to do it.” Now entering his sophomore year at Stanford University, Karl is well on his way to doing just that as a volunteer and fundraiser for organizations that combat homelessness, hunger, and HIV/AIDS. Last May, Karl experienced the opportunity of a lifetime when he was selected by PBS and American Experience to be one of 40 college students to retrace the routes of the original 1961 Freedom Rides with some of the Freedom Riders as part of the 50th anniversary celebration. “It was an incredible opportunity to learn from and talk to ordinary people who stood up against a Goliath in American government at the time -- institutional racism,” says Karl. “The Freedom Riders were my age when they went on that journey. They dropped out of school and signed their last wills and testaments before they got on the bus. I don’t know if I would have had that kind of courage, but I’m definitely grateful they did, because I would not have the opportunities I have today were it not for them.” Karl says the whole experience was incredibly motivating. “It is so easy to get overwhelmed by the amount of injustice and suffering going on in the world. But instead of being overwhelmed, the Freedom Riders maintained a fearless idealism and challenged social injustice head on – and won! And that is what I want to do with my life.” Scholarship Program The RMHC of Greater Las Vegas Scholarship Program is a partnership between RMHC, McDonald’s®, and local community organizations. The program awards scholarships to students who have limited access to career and educational opportunities, and is part of RMHC & McDonald’s ongoing commitment to education.

Since the program began in 2004, volunteers have delivered over 130,000 lunches. In 2010 alone, 28,000 lunches reached the hands of mothers, fathers, grandparents and family members who were at their child’s hospital bedside. In addition to the lunches, volunteers also take toys and stuffed animals to the children being treated. 14 In Their Own Words “It’s a stress reliever…I’m here with my 1 year old daughter, and if you don’t want to leave your child, it’s just one less thing you have to worry about!” – Amber received lunches from RMHC when her daughter was at Sunrise Children’s Hospital for respiratory issues. “I’ve enjoyed every minute of doing this – I hate missing a day!” – Patty has been delivering lunches to families since 2006. “It makes me feel good to know that we’re doing something to help families in a time of crisis. If I can put a smile on their face, it’s worth a million dollars!” – Jeff has been delivering lunches to families since 2008. “It’s nice to see the interaction families have with RMHC volunteers – it gives them a sense of hope.” – Ashley is a social worker at Sunrise Children’s Hospital.

Wilhelm Elementary School Wrecklettes Unit of Ladies of Oriental Shrine Court #96 Zia & Teahl Dooley & Jeri Mallory Volunteer! In 2010, 145 volunteers logged over 5,900 hours of service for RMHC of Greater Las Vegas. Whether it was by cooking, cleaning, serving, or just being there to lend a helping hand, these volunteers made a difference in the lives of the children and families we serve. Beyond the physical and emotional support they give, these valued members of our team also have a profound effect on the cost of operating our programs. RMHC estimates that volunteers saved our organization over $127,000 in 2010. The following are just a few ways volunteers help RMHC: ●●House Volunteer - Help in the office & around the House with day to day tasks. ●●Cook Dinner - Sign up to cook dinner for families staying at the House. Great for groups and families! ●●Lunch Program - Prepare and deliver sack lunches for families staying with their children at Sunrise Children’s Hospital and the Children’s Hospital of Southern Nevada at UMC. You can also help by decorating lunch bags and donating lunch items. ●●Pop Tabs - Collect the pull tabs from aluminum cans and drop them off to the Ronald McDonald House. We recycle the tabs and proceeds go directly to help our families. ●●Fundraising and Events - Assist with fundraising projects and special events, such as the Annual Food Drive and 5K Run. ●●Hold A Fundraiser - Designate RMHC as the recipient of your own fundraising event, such as a bake sale or golf tournament. ●●Wish List Drive - Collect much needed items from our wish lists. We have a wish list for the House, lunch program, and a holiday wish list.
