Dreyer D C T 2008 - 2009 Board Members Developing Philanthropic Support for Lakeland Regional Medical Center and Lakeland Regional Cancer Center. D ear Friends and Supporters, Lakeland Regional Medical Center Foundation and Lakeland Regional Medical Center are fortunate to have the support and commitment from many volunteers and community members. It is through their generosity that the Foundation is able to impact the quality and scope of care provided to the patients at LRMC. In March, we held the inaugural Cookin’ Men event. All proceeds will be used by Women In Philanthropy to support women and children’s health programs and services at LRMC. Cookin’ Men was a great deal of fun for the chefs and all that attended. You can find pictures in this issue and on-line at www.cookinmen.org. You will also find information on a variety of Foundation activities, including more about Women in Philanthropy. We recently announced the Philanthropist Of the Year – Chuck and Connie Bovay. We are pleased to recognize the Bovays for dedicated service and support of the Foundation. We are grateful for your generosity, support and commitment to improving healthcare. I’m confident that you will find this issue of Touching Lives both informative and interesting. Through your help we have been able to provide the latest in technology, enhance our research capabilities through cancer clinical trials, achieve status as a chest pain center, and launch a new Lights for Life effort that will help bring a new Pediatric Emergency Room to our community. Your contribution can assist us in our continuing effort to improve the programs and services, equipment and technology, and facilities at Lakeland Regional Medical Center. Please consider sending a gift today for the LRMC Foundation to support the programs and services in which you have a special interest. A postage paid envelope is enclosed for your tax-deductible gift to the LRMC Foundation. Sincerely, Dale E. Dreyer LRMC Foundation Board Chair P h ilan An Evening of Southern Hospitality o t o f t h e y e a r A word from Chuck & Connie: “The honor that the LRMC Foundation bestowed upon us was one of the biggest and nicest surprises we have ever received! Supporting our community with time, talent and resources began early in our marriage. We have both taught Sunday school classes and have been active in our church; volunteered in the PTA when our children were young; and have served on city, county and state level boards. One area leads to another area and serving others becomes a life-style. Our commitment to LRMC and the LRMC Foundation has been a remarkable experience and opportunity for us both. Volunteering to help within the Foundation continues what others before us have done for this outstanding facility.” “We participate for the difference it makes to others, not for personal rewards. The “reward” is in the knowledge that comes with helping to make our community a better place to spend our lives. We “thank” those persons responsible for giving us this recognition.” pis The Bovays have been loyal supporters of the hospital, with giving that dates back to 1986. The Bovays are also members of the Foundation’s Bridge Builder Society – a special group of donors who have made or arranged for gifts through their estates. In addition to their gifts, the Bovays were recognized for the generous volunteer commitments they have made to Joe Mawhinney, Beverly Stephens, Jack Stephens h r Above - Hunt Berryman presents award to Connie Bovay, while Chuck Bovay makes remarks. Lakeland Regional. Mr. Bovay is a former hospital board member (1990-1996) and hospital board chair (1996) as well as a current Foundation board member (20002009) and past Foundation board chair (2006). Mrs. Bovay was one of the original steering committee members for the hospital’s Victorian Tea and currently serves on the Executive Committee of the Foundation’s Women in Philanthropy Giving Society. According to Ken Menefee, Foundation Executive Director, “What’s special about Chuck and Connie Bovay is the level at which they commit themselves as volunteers, not just to the hospital but to numerous organizations. There are so many community groups in Lakeland that would name Chuck and Connie Bovay as integral members of their organizations such as the Imperial Symphony, Central Florida Speech and Hearing, Lakeland Volunteers in Medicine and the Florida House. They both have gone above and beyond just attending meetings and offering help. They are philanthropic leaders with true hearts for improving their community.” t M embers of the Lakeland Regional Medical Center Foundation’s 1914 Society, Morrell Society and Bridge Builders Society enjoyed an evening of southern hospitality on Tuesday, February 24, 2009 at the home of Mary & Joe Mawhinney. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the “Philanthropist of the Year” award for 2008 to Chuck and Connie Bovay by Hunt & Mary Berryman, recipients of the special recognition in 2007.

This unusual event featured the culinary talents of local volunteer chefs, cooking up their specialties to raise funds for women’s and children’s services at Lakeland Regional Medical Center and Lakeland Regional Cancer Center. With an attendance of over 500 guests, Cookin’ Men 2009 was undoubtedly a casual evening of culinary fun. Chefs served up delicious offerings from Buffalo Meat Balls to Louisiana Pork Roast to Peanut Butter Lollipops in a decorative and appetizing way. The “Pink Panache Award” for the best decorated booth was presented to Matthew Cantrall who served “Redneck Caviar Dip” in a very creative manner! Plans are already underway for Cookin’ Men 2010!

Keynote Speaker Mary Foley R ed was the color of the day for the 2008 Women in Philanthropy (WIP) Luncheon at the Lakeland Yacht Club. Over 170 guests were treated to not only a wonderful meal but a fantastic program. Ihla Sloman, Women in Philanthropy chairwoman began the day by announcing the grant recipients of the annual WIP grant allocations cycle. Keynote speaker Mary Foley shared a compelling story on how to Live Like Your Nail Color – Even If You Have Naked Nails! Mary’s message was filled with optimism and motivation on how to stay energized about life and effectively deal with everyday stress. Whether you prefer a “Wild Berry” color or “naked nails,” it’s important that you live a life full of passion and energy while dealing with 6 demanding schedules and busy careers. Mary led a great interactive session with the audience, in which the participants learned what their nail color or naked nails said about them. Mary expressed the true definition of what it means to be “bodacious and live like your nail color.” The funds raised by Women in Philanthropy are designated for the purpose of improving the quality and scope of healthcare that women and children receive at LRMC and LRCC. The Executive Committee of Women in Philanthropy is comprised of Ihla Sloman, Connie WIP Chairwoman, Ihla Sloman Bovay, Maryann Cassell, Denise Crenshaw, Nancy Fisher, Bobbi Griffith, and Linda Rich.

Despite having the right under Federal Law to self-direct future healthcare decisions, less than 30% of America’s competent adults have exercised that constitutional right. Working within the framework of National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD), which is held annually on April 16, LRMC hosted an event on January 16 for community and business leaders to learn the vital significance of Advance Care Planning (ACP) for healthcare. These leaders received an introduction on ACP, then a compelling presentation from Dr. Dean Sandifer, LRMC’s Director of Critical Care Medicine. Closing remarks were delivered by Dr. Scott Swygert, LRMC Hospitalist, about the importance of planning for our own critical illnesses, just as we plan for weddings, vacations and retirements. One of the attendees of the January event, the HR Director for a Lakeland-based business, was extremely moved by the message and invited LRMC speakers to her place of business. On April 7, hospital representatives conducted workshops for over 200 employees on ACP. The Women in Philanthropy grant to fund the educational event on Advance Directives has had far-reaching effects throughout Lakeland, to positively impact the well-being of our community! OME The 2008 grant recipients of funds raised by the Women in Philanthropy giving society were recognized during the group’s annual luncheon on November 14, 2008. A combined $34,990 was awarded as follows: Women in Philanthropy Funds At Work: Education Program for Key Community Leaders W Women in Philanthropy announces 2008 grant recipients ♦ To underwrite an educational program for key community leaders on the importance of advance directives.

On average, $1 Million in donor funds are distributed to LRMC and LRCC each year. Included in Fiscal Year 2008 is funding for The Victorian Tea, development of the Palliative Care program, Cancer Clinical Trials, equipment such as a blanket warmer for LRCC and nurse call light locators for several LRMC departments. We are grateful for the support from the community and all that these gifts make possible. G i L akeland Regional Medical Center is a leader in the healthcare community and provides exceptional care to our patients. We have been fortunate to receive philanthropic support from the community to assist with programs, services, education, equipment and much more. Many of the contributions received by LRMC Foundation are designated for specific purposes. Other gifts are used at the discretion of the board of directors.

The answer to this question may not be as simple as you think. Times of economic fear actually provide a great opportunity to look at some wise ways to help your favorite cause. Here are a few giving ideas that make sense in a tough economy. P lann Giving in a Tough Economy Charitable Gift Annuities For the donor who wishes to receive some “return on their investment,” a Charitable Gift Annuity can accomplish two things – provide a guaranteed rate of return and provide philanthropic support to your favorite cause. Donors, particularly Sample Rate Chart for a $10,000 Gift Annuity on a Single Life (for illustrative purposes only) those ages 70-90, frequently Age of Annuitant 70 75 80 85 compare their CD rate with Annuity Rate 5.7% 6.3% 7.1% 8.1% Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) rates. The one-year CD is Charitable Deduction $3,601 $4,222 $4,865 $5,527 currently at around 2.3%, and Annual Payment $570 $630 $710 $810 it looks as if rates will hold or even trend lower during this year. On the other hand, a prospective charitable gift annuitant at age 80 would qualify for a 7.1% rate on a CGA. This is 4.5% to 5% higher than the rate he or she would receive with a CD. Another factor considered by donors is the fixed payout and security of the annuity. With market volatility at unprecedented levels, seniors especially are concerned about the rapid change in value of their equities. Charitable Lead Trusts Some donors are looking for ways to turn under performing or high cost basis property into an arrangement that fulfills their annual gifts to charity, while preserving their assets for future use by the donor or the donor’s family. A great tool for this is a Charitable Lead Trust, which works as follows: 1. Yearly distributions go to the charity. 2. The donor retains control over the principle assets. Remainder beneficiary is typically the donor or donor’s family. Continued from page 19 18 S e ni o r D o Creative Ideas to Consider C I lub Information excerpted from Crescendo Interactive Article of the Month for February 2009 and “New Life for Charitable Lead Trusts, Grantor CLTs” by Lani Starkey published in the Journal of Gift Planning, Vol. 12, No. 2, 2008 n March, the Senior Donor Club hosted its very first What’s Up Doc? education event. This year’s theme was joint health, and attendees were treated to an exclusive Q & A session with the Lakeland Regional Orthopedic Associates at their new offices on Harden Blvd. Dr. Don Serot, Dr. Mark Munson and Dr. Todd Hall spent close to an hour answering various questions related to knee, hip and shoulder surgery and replacements, arthritis and rehabilitation. All the participants were able to ask specific questions as well as talk with the physicians individually. The Senior Donor Club will host the What’s Up Doc? event each year featuring a different topic of interest to seniors. The purpose of the Senior Donor Club is to better connect the Foundation’s “Golden Age” supporters to the various resources we have at Lakeland Regional Medical Center. We currently have more than 120 members and host several educational, social and screening events throughout the year. If you are interested in becoming a member of the club, you must be over 65 years of age and a current donor to the Foundation (minimum gift of $25/year). r In essence, you are able to provide income to a charity by “loaning” assets over a period of time, while never relinquishing the ownership of the assets. This can be a flexible alternative to making gifts to endowments, donor advised funds or paying multi-year pledges. Plus the CLT provides a huge financial safety net for the donors, maintaining assets they may need later in life.
