JULIA SCHNEIDER Rejoicing in a Pain-Free Future When Julia Schneider faced surgery two years ago to straighten her curved spine, she was excited. “I had worn a brace for three and a half years. Surgery meant a cure and no more brace!” Her parents, however, were concerned. “Our healthy looking child would undergo nine and a half hours of surgery with some significant risks,” says Ronna Greff Schneider. To ease their minds, she and her husband, John, took Julia to St. Louis for a second opinion. “That doctor agreed that surgery was needed to correct the severe scoliosis, and confirmed that our surgeon at Cincinnati Children’s, Alvin Crawford, MD, was the best we could get,” Mrs. Schneider says. A successful procedure eventually freed Julia from the pain in her back – and the restrictive brace. Today, the active 15year-old says, “The best things are being cured of the disease, having a straight back, and knowing that I won’t have severe back pain later in life.” Dear Friends, I n a year that challenged the heart and soul of our nation, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center was reminded once again how precious are the children and teenagers in our care — and how essential is our work of bringing healing and hope. Now more than ever, we have extraordinary opportunities to make a difference for so many children. Focused clearly on specific goals — and supported by the human and financial resources needed to achieve them — we have committed ourselves fully to achieving our vision: Cincinnati Children’s will be the leader in improving child health. How do we make this vision a reality? Our key to success lies in our new strategic plan, introduced in 2001. It maps our way to a successful future by focusing on vision, values and behavior. We will make a difference in the lives of children in three ways: • We will dramatically improve the delivery of care • We will greatly increase the impact of our research • We will implement new models of education for pediatric professionals, patients, families and the public Our achievements in calendar year 2001 are summarized according to these goals, to demonstrate how the plan is translating into action. Our new strategic plan injects added momentum and direction into our longheld mission: to serve the health care needs of infants, children and adolescents, and to provide research and teaching programs that ensure delivery of the highest quality pediatric care to our community, the nation and the world. Through the years, thousands of supporters have made financial contributions that enable us to touch even more children and their families. Bolstered by their faith in Cincinnati Children’s, we are inspired to reach even farther and try even harder to better the lives of our youngest citizens. In this annual report, we gratefully acknowledge those donors whose support enables us to better serve the children and families who come to us for care. Together, we can achieve even greater things for children. Please join us in our journey. Sincerely, James M. Anderson President and CEO Lee A.

Begun in 2001, new multidisciplinary efforts at Cincinnati Children’s offer a convenient, single location where patients and their families can receive comprehensive and wellintegrated care. The Hemangioma and Vascular Malformation Center unites a variety of specialists — pediatric surgeons, otolaryngologists, dermatologists, plastic surgeons, radiologists, pain management specialists and others — to evaluate and manage patients with simple to life-threatening vascular lesions. dramatically improve delivery care of H Strategic Plan Cornerstone World-class clinicians, nurses and therapists are essential to our work. Yet exceptional care requires more. As we focus on quality, safety and delivery, we will improve the care we give and deliver it more efficiently. Radical change will become part of our thinking. We will serve families better with innovative ways of managing care across traditional medical disciplines. Strong efforts in prevention and health promotion will lead to generations of healthier children. hospital priorities from a family perspective. Today’s most advanced pediatric health care professionals recognize that families know their children best and should be partners in all aspects of their children’s care. Small bowel transplants offer hope to children whose small intestine is severely compromised due to disease or catastrophic conditions. Without a transplant, these infants must depend on intravenous feedings (IV) for the rest of their lives. If they don’t adapt to IV feeding, they can develop end-stage liver disease and die of cirrhosis. The cost of IV feeding over a lifetime is much greater than that of undergoing a successful intestinal transplant, and a transplant greatly improves the quality of life. The Comprehensive Weight Management Program offers a Families Advise Medical Center Leadership Our new Family Advisory Council, composed of 18 adult family members and 11 staff members, is a major step in integrating family centered care into all we do. Started in 2001, the council will advise our business and medical leadership on patient needs and pleted to begin small bowel transplantation here. Cincinnati Children’s is the only pediatric hospital in Ohio — and one of a handful nationwide — with this capability. We also perform transplants of the heart, kidney and liver, integrating care and support services for patients and families before, during and after these highly complex procedures.

According to several large national surveys, the prevalence of overweight youth is currently estimated to be 14 percent. Clinically obese teens have a high likelihood of becoming obese adults, and are prone to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other serious health problems. Medically supervised weight control programs are the first line of treatment. Some morbidly obese teens who cannot achieve sustained weight loss may be candidates for bariatric surgery, which reduces the size of the stomach.

Since health care delivery is our principal commitment to the patients and families we serve, it must be excellent. New Logo Reflects Our Vision The energy and scope of our new strategic plan is conveyed in our new name, logo and visual identity system. As the reputation of Cincinnati Children’s has grown regionally and nationally, the need for a distinct, recognizable “brand” identity has increased. The word “Cincinnati,” included for the first time as a formal part of our logo, emphasizes our roots and tradition and also sets us apart from other pediatric hospitals. A third of all children are born with a vascular lesion. About 10 percent of them require medical treatment, and of this group, one percent have complex conditions that may be severely disfiguring or potentially life-threatening. Our center is one of only a few in the United States that offers comprehensive evaluation and treatment for these children and their families. 4 Strategic Plan Cornerstone Research Left: Pediatric patients now can receive aquatic therapy at Cincinnati Children’s Outpatient Services at Drake Center. (continued from page 4) psychologists, exercise physiologists, cardiologists, nurses and surgeons work with teens and their families to promote their physical and emotional well-being and to provide them with the support needed to achieve the best results. Top Honors for On-the-Job Safety Cincinnati Children’s was honored by the Ohio Hospital Association this year for having the best employee safety record among hospitals with 4,000 or more employees during calendar year 2000. The Fanconi Anemia Comprehensive Care Center is the first-of-itskind center in the United States dedicated to compassionate, multidisciplinary care of children with Fanconi anemia and other rare bone marrow failure syndromes. A team of specialists offers children and their families optimal medical, surgical and behavioral care in one location. Strategic Plan Cornerstone Cincinnati Children’s Outpatient Services at Drake Center is the latest effort to make care more convenient for families — and to extend our expertise to areas where it’s most needed. With generous support from Convalescent Hospital for Children, Greater Cincinnati’s first full-service rehabilitation center solely for children offers occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech pathology and aquatic therapy for infants through adolescents. Collaborative Programs. Cincinnati Children’s has partnered with Children’s Medical Center, Dayton, to offer specialty care at Middletown Regional Hospital. A new collaboration with Akron Children’s Hospital enables Akron-area youngsters to benefit from the knowledge and care of our specialists. Working to Solve a Community Crisis Despite rising numbers of psychosocial problems identified in children, many local psychiatric providers have reduced services or closed their doors. The result is a community crisis. With support from Convalescent Hospital for Children, Cincinnati Children’s has moved to close the gap by purchasing a site in College Hill to be used for a 46-bed center for children and teens, ages 10 to 16. The center is expected to open late in 2002. the impact research of our A t Cincinnati Children’s, we’ve spent many productive years creating and using knowledge to improve the health of children and adults. Now, we recommit ourselves to sustaining and growing our nationally and internationally recognized programs so they benefit even more people worldwide. We also will pursue new directions and efforts to make a difference in the care of children. Our new Translational Research Initiative will help accelerate the process of taking laboratory findings to the bedside. The initiative stimulates development of pre-clinical and human translational trials that seek to improve the care of children with serious diseases. Eventually, faculty in each division at Cincinnati Children’s will participate in translational research. Above: Photographer credit needed for this image. Strategic Plan Cornerstone 5 One of the Nation’s Top 10 Pediatric Hospitals Cincinnati Children’s was named one of the 10 best pediatric hospitals in the United States in 2001 in the U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Hospitals” survey. We are one of only two pediatric institutions in the Midwest to be included. increase RESEARCH HEALTH CARE DELIVERY Fanconi anemia is one of the inherited anemias that lead to bone marrow failure, or aplastic anemia. It may be evident at birth; it is usually diagnosed by age 12. Fanconi anemia usually becomes more severe over time; some patients may develop leukemia or other cancers. Many do not reach adulthood since the condition may affect all systems of the body. At Cincinnati Children’s, quality, comprehensive care is available, along with innovative research and evaluation of new therapies. Patients may participate in clinical trials conducted by the center. 6 Research Discoveries Advance Knowledge In 2001, Cincinnati Children’s researchers made significant strides in numerous areas of health care research. The most notable discoveries include: • A genital herpes vaccine developed with GlaxoSmithKline that is safe and effective in preventing genital herpes in women not previously infected with herpes simplex virus • Identification of a link between gastric reflux, and food and environmental allergens, including pollens and molds • The finding that millions more children and adolescents than previously thought endure the detrimental effects of exposure to lead in the United States This Page: This is a stand-in caption.

Now, we will extend our education mission and approach it with new creativity. We will equip people with the knowledge and skill to care for children, advocate for children’s health and renew themselves through lifelong learning. Among the Best in Pediatric Education U.S. News & World Report has ranked the Department of Pediatrics at Cincinnati Children’s and the University of Cincinnati Medical Center (UC) number six among pediatric programs at medical schools in the United States. The department consists entirely of Cincinnati Children’s physicians, researchers and other individuals who hold academic appointments at UC. To enhance family centered care, we will work actively to educate children and their families — and to train our care givers to seek out patient and family participation in care decisions. We will move beyond education to advocate for children. Novel Program Increases Safety Seat Use Strategic Plan Cornerstone In gratitude to Fifth Third Bank/Jacob G. Schmidlapp Trust for a $1 million gift to support research in juvenile arthritis, we were pleased to name the auditorium in Fifth Third’s honor. Their leadership gift is being matched by other sources, resulting in more than $2 million to support our internationally renowned research program in childhood arthritis.

The Youth Injury Prevention program, conceived at Cincinnati Children’s and funded in part by the Ohio Department of Public Safety, includes several components, including an injury prevention curriculum for church Sunday school classes, and sermons by church ministers focused on traffic safety and being a role model. Strategic Plan Cornerstone 9 Education efforts at Cincinnati Children’s got a major boost with the completion of the Albert B. Sabin, M.D., Education Center in 2001. The center consolidates all of our educational resources into one facility. In addition to the libraries and meeting rooms, it features the 300-seat Fifth Third Bank Auditorium and its superior audiovisual equipment. The center greatly enhances our ability to hold educational events for both health professionals and the community, foster educational programming, and strengthen our role as a leader in pediatric health care education. A partnership formed in 2001 between Cincinnati Children’s and 14 AfricanAmerican churches and their ministers has resulted in a 100 percent increase in the use of child safety seats among children age 8 and under who are affiliated with the churches. In addition, the percentage of children riding totally unrestrained decreased from 36 percent to 10 percent. Preliminary results suggest that the program was also very effective in teaching parents that children should ride in the back seat of a vehicle. EDUCATION EDUCATION New Sabin Center Promotes Education 10 Left: The square ont the far right needs a photographer credit Safer Play in Avondale Thanks to generous funding sources, Avondale is getting expert help and new play facilities to lower the neighborhood’s high rate of childhood injuries. The Injury Free Coalition for Kids at Cincinnati Children’s, dedicated to working with communities in need to initiate injury prevention reforms, received a five-year, $266,100 grant from the national Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in 2001. The funds will support an injury prevention coordinator based at Cincinnati Children’s to serve the Avondale community. This year, construction begins on a new youth football facility at South Avondale Elementary School, supported by a $100,000 grant from Local Initiatives Support Corporation, managers of the National Football League Community Football Fields Program, and a $25,000 commitment from the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati Public Schools and the Cincinnati Recreation Commission are providing additional support. health support. To assist mental health providers who were working with victims’ families and co-workers, a psychiatrist at Cincinnati Children’s produced a CD that gathered useful resources from 40 professionals from around the world. Currently, a capital campaign is under way to fund construction of a new health center on the school campus. Just under $14,000 has been raised by individuals, including $362 from the students themselves. Corporations and community organizations have given close to $10,000, and another $150,000 has been awarded by private foundations. This strong private support and the collaboration of the center’s founders enabled Rockdale to leverage additional state dollars. The state has committed $13.6 million to renovate the entire Rockdale campus, including construction of the new health center, by January 2004.

EDUCATION 11 Employees Help a Nation Heal After the devastating terrorist attacks of September 11, Cincinnati Children’s offered advice to parents and teachers via media interviews and tip sheets distributed to local schools. Several employees went to New York City to help in rescue efforts or provide mental Training the Next Generation Cincinnati Children’s has one of the largest pediatric training programs within a single institution in the United States. In 2001, we trained: • 183 undergraduate medical students • 92 pediatric residents • 64 surgical residents • 9 dental residents • 13 psychology residents • 112 clinical fellows • 35 radiology residents • 28 anesthesia residents • 62 research post-doctoral fellows • 677 student nurses • 22 nurse anesthetist students A majority of students at Avondale’s Rockdale Academy have no health care provider — or they rely on clinics at Cincinnati Children’s for care. These grade-schoolers also experience a disproportionate number of illnesses and academic underachievement. So Rockdale’s leaders and Cincinnati Children’s established an independent, primary care health center at a temporary location within the school with a $350,000 start-up grant from the Health Foundation of Greater Cincinnati. EDUCATION Telemedicine Bridges Distances Thanks to the new technological capabilities housed at the Sabin Education Center, we made great progress in 2001 in bridging long distances with innovative technologies. Through two-way videoconferencing, divisions confer regularly with physicians at remote children’s hospitals, conduct interviews with potential employees in other cities and make international presentations. Web collaboration allows the Child Abuse Team to review images through the web with colleagues at remote locations and offer expert consultation. Satellite uplinks connect the medical center’s weekly educational forums for students and professionals to 10 outlying Tristate locations. The Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) enables physicians throughout the medical center to view medical images, such as X-rays and CT scans, simultaneously on computers — without the traditional film. 12 Strategic Plan Cornerstone People + Organization Remarkable Growth To be the leader in improving child health, we need the very best people as our partners in fulfilling our goals. Cincinnati Children’s is growing rapidly to enable us to serve all of the children who need us, here and around the world. In health care delivery, research and education, the need continues for more staff members. Remarkable growth requires new approaches to recruitment. Unique among Cincinnati’s hospitals, an innovative paperless system speeds the hiring process by allowing us to search a database of qualified candidates.

Two years ago, Austan started wheezing while playing with his brother’s toy bank. A trip to the emergency department dispelled fears that he had swallowed a coin, but a chest X-ray showed an enlarged heart. Further tests revealed a hole in the one-year-old’s heart that his doctors would monitor for changes. Although he had no symptoms, an echocardiogram late in 2001 showed that the hole was growing, so Austan’s pediatric cardiologist referred the family to pediatric heart surgeon Peter Manning, MD, at Cincinnati Children’s. On January 29, Austan’s hole was repaired in open heart surgery. “Now we have to make him sit down and rest. He’s doing great,” says Mrs. Harris.

Safer Care with New Technology How can Cincinnati Children’s use technology to reduce the risk of errors and increase the accuracy and efficiency of the care we give? In 2001 we laid the groundwork for the 2002 launch of our new clinical order entry system. The system will help physicians write complete, concise, unambiguous orders for radiology and lab tests, medications, general nursing, diet, activity and consultations. It will provide decision support, for example, checking the patient’s history for known allergies, confirming that the dosage is correct for the patient’s age and weight, and that the order is consistent with hospital policies and clinical pathways.

Elizabeth’s pediatric neurologist advised her parents to look online for more information about her degenerative neural condition. Their search led them to Cincinnati Children’s and neurosurgeon Kerry Crone, MD. Within a few days of sending her records, the family brought Elizabeth to Cincinnati Children’s for testing and brain surgery. “It was such a relief to find someone KNOWLEDGE Heart Expertise Now One Click Away The Heart Center at Cincinnati Children’s introduced the Heart Encyclopedia in 2001, the most comprehensive, in-depth, online source of heart information for patients, families and physicians. This unique medical reference, with contributions from top experts in the field, is updated regularly to reflect the latest progress in pediatric cardiac diagnosis and treatment options. It’s accessible at www.cincinnatichildrens.org/ heartcenter/encyclopedia. Web Site Offers Families Hope + 15 Supercomputer Helps Solve Mysteries of Disease The new knowledge generated by the Human Genome Project opens untold possibilities for researchers at Cincinnati Children’s. Our ongoing efforts to understand the genetic causes of childhood disease made a quantum leap forward last year. The Ohio Board of Regents and Sun Microsystems funded a $2.7 million supercomputer that’s aiding the groundbreaking efforts of our bioinformatics program. INFORMATION KNOWLEDGE nformation is the bedrock resource required for us to do our work. Cincinnati Children’s will harness information, transform it into knowledge, and use it to drive innovation and decision-making. 16 Strategic Plan Cornerstone Sufficient Financial Resources Federal Graduate Medical Education Funding to Cincinnati Children’s $10,000,000 2002 $9,000,000 2001 1999 $0 Most important, our growth has enabled us to affect the lives of more children.

Cincinnati Children’s at a Glance growth depends strong Strategic Plan Cornerstone G rowth is the defining word at this moment in the history of Cincinnati Children’s — growth in new facilities, new staff, new research and new clinical programs. Making this possible is our success in developing and sustaining the cash flow to support the pursuit of our vision. Record Growth in Revenues, Patient Encounters Fiscal year 2001 (ended June 30, 2001) represented a significant milestone in our never-ending quest to generate income. Cincinnati Children’s reported record revenues of $540 million, a growth rate of 16 percent over the previous year. This growth occurred across all three missions. Revenues from patient care activities grew an outstanding 14 percent, while external research funding increased more than 17 percent. In addition, federal funding for pediatric graduate medical education has grown dramatically, due to strong advocacy efforts here and by children’s hospitals nationwide, from zero just three years ago to $9 million in 2001. 2000 1999 1998 1997 Patients Admissions (includes short stays) Average length of stay Emergency department visits Regional Center for Newborn Intensive Care admissions Patient encounters 20,276 5.3 days 84,762 14,893 4.1 days 83,283 13,902 4.1 days 80,974 14,120 5.2 days 79,859 13,960 5.1 days 80,918 597 658,783 645 532,000 610 ––– 573 ––– 609 ––– Outpatient visits (includes satellites) Primary Specialty Test referral center 32,305 418,825 27,924 38,264 302,333 28,237 36,486 250,077 27,718 38,781 242,033 28,581 37,319 226,757 29,643 4,204 20,812 4,211 19,933 2,580 18,928 2,611 18,241 3,296 16,998 49 6 26 23 50 4 26 11 49 4 21 18 1,039 5,910 4,705 1,250 5,424 3,993 1,216 4,338 3,638 Surgical Procedures Inpatient Outpatient (includes satellites) Transplants Blood and marrow Heart Liver Kidney People Active medical staff Total employees Full-time equivalents 80 53 No Program No Program 18 12 18 13 1,204 4,203 3,377 1,153 3,733 3,151 Strategic Plan Cornerstone 17 finances World-Class Facilities for World-Class Care In mid-1998, Cincinnati Children’s began a $155 million building program to improve facilities to support our vision and meet growing demands for patient care.

At age 9, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor after unexplained vomiting and a seizure. Six days after diagnosis, she underwent surgery at Cincinnati Children’s. Only half of the tumor was removable, and Lacy was paralyzed on her left side. “We almost lost her,” says her mother, Beverly. Today, the tumor continues to grow despite aggressive radiation and drug treatments. Lacy welcomed participation in an experimental drug trial at Cincinnati Children’s that could shrink the tumor. Her “awesome positive attitude” remains strong and she tries to live life to the fullest, says her mother. “At this point, a lot of patients would give up, but not Lacy. We’re very thankful to Children’s, because without them, we might not have her.” Strategic Plan Cornerstone Plant and Equipment, Net of Accumulated Depreciation Funds Held in Trust Long-term Investments Interest in Net Assets of Supporting Organizations Total Assets Liabilities and Fund Balance: Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses Current Portion of Long-term Debt Current Liabilities Long-term Debt Other Long-term Liabilities Unrestricted Net Assets Temporarily Restricted Net Assets Permanently Restricted Net Assets Total Liabilities and Net Assets 2000-2001 Children’s Hospital Medical Center Board of Trustees listing as of January 1, 2002 Board of Trustees $390,986,302 16,753,495 53,561,328 669,134,655 $1,347,503,742 $322,077,049 18,602,406 52,087,100 624,878,839 $1,203,739,499 $76,312,916 5,625,913 $81,938,829 $50,920,260 5,205,326 $56,125,586 253,416,204 24,983,768 241,312,768 78,482,468 667,369,705 $1,347,503,742 208,443,170 22,792,356 223,423,359 72,280,775 620,674,253 $1,203,739,499 Mr. Lee A.

When Emily Hayes entered the world with Down syndrome, her family learned all they could to help her grow and develop. But they discovered that so much more could be done to research the best treatments and coordinate care. So in 1999 her grandparents first established the Emily Hayes Down Syndrome Research Fund, then in 2001 created the Jane and Richard Thomas Center for Down Syndrome at Cincinnati Children’s. "Now, children with Down syndrome will have a comprehensive program in a single center devoted just to their needs," says proud grandfather Richard Thomas. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence W.

Many visits over the years to the Division of Orthopaedics pointed to an obvious need for better computers and games in the waiting room. “When the computers arrived, I set them up, which was fun.

Her mother, Betty, was shocked when she set eyes on her daughter. Mrs. Johnson recalls, “I said to my husband, ‘Look at Beth. She’s gray. She’s dying.’” Unfortunately, her diagnosis was accurate. The family’s pediatrician recognized that Beth’s appendix had burst five days earlier, spreading a terrible infection throughout her body. “I really thought we would lose her,” Mrs. Johnson says. But months of care at Cincinnati Children’s restored her to health, and today Beth lives in Washington, D.C., with her family. To honor her daughter and the care she received, Mrs. Johnson supports the C i n c i n n a t i C h i l d r e n ’ s A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 01 C i n c i n n a t i C h i l d r e n ’ s A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 01 This family of donors has remembered Cincinnati Children’s in their estate plans and has notified the medical center of their intentions to invest in our future through planned or deferred gift arrangements. The society’s name honors a Cincinnati humanitarian who understood how best to preserve his values. In 1931, Colonel Procter initiated an endowment that led to the creation of our Research Foundation, which today provides assurance that our children will receive the best care possible.

In gratitude, Mr. Bourgraf and his wife, Elaine, have donated generously to the medical center. Born in 1963 with a rare birth defect, Brian Bourgraf was expected to live 6 months. Instead, Lester Martin, MD, performed 19 surgeries, including a double kidney transplant. Kidney specialist Clark West, MD, monitored his drug regimen. Today, Brian, now married, leads a rewarding life working in the family business and stays in touch with the physicians who saved his life. To honor these doctors, Elroy and Elaine supported the creation of endowed chairs. They also included Cincinnati Children’s in their estate plans and continue to make substantial annual gifts.

Cincinnati Children’s gratefully acknowledges all gifts from our generous family of donors. The Cooperative Society Cincinnati Children’s first auxiliary, the Cooperative Society serves the medical center by making clothing, blankets and dolls for the children, as well as funding an on-site sewing room. The society hosts an annual luncheon for all community volunteers who sew for the hospital, whether in the sewing room or at home. In addition, members decorate the hospital lobbies and public spaces for holidays. Projects of new interest include the Family Resource Center, addressing the needs of families of children with chronic conditions. After more than 100 years of service, the Cooperative Society retains its long-standing traditions and welcomes new members to its organization. President: Ms. Deborah Graumlich Donation: $463,010 There’s something to delight every child in the gift shop at Cincinnati Children’s, which expanded in 2001 to offer more space for toys, games and trinkets. The Junior Funny Companie Clowns How much fun can you have in 18 years? The Funny Companie Clowns should know. They’ve entertained children and raised funds for Cincinnati Children’s through many volunteer performances, including birthday parties, company picnics, Sunday brunches, community events and public awareness campaigns. “Dr. Funn,” “Hobo Fo” and “Dolly Dimples” are three adult clowns who spread laughter wherever they go. President: Mr. Don Bachmann Donation: $4,640 Cooperative Society, which operates and staffs the gift shop, donates all proceeds to improve care at Cincinnati Children’s. FunRaisers FunRaisers, the preeminent philanthropic singles organization in Greater Cincinnati, raises funds for Hematology/Oncology Division research at Cincinnati Children’s. Since 1985, the members have supported the hospital financially through many activities, including membership dues, scheduled parties, special events and corporate donations. About 50 parties and events are held per year, with total combined attendance approaching 10,000 people. FunRaisers’ contributions have been used for hematology/oncology research and to provide a video and handbook for newly diagnosed patients and their families. More than $390,000 has already been donated to help find a cure for pediatric cancer. FunRaisers also sponsors an annual picnic and a special visit from Santa Claus to hospital patients. President: Ms. Jan Eide Donation: $44,052 Good Bears Founded in 1984, the Good Bears auxiliary provides a specially designed teddy bear for each child admitted to Cincinnati Children’s. This auxiliary is also raising funds for the renovation of the Interfaith Chapel and Meditation Room in the medical center’s patient tower. To fulfill their goals, the Good Bears rely on individual and corporate support from the Greater Cincinnati community. New members are welcome. President: Mr. Eric Stevens Donation: 1333 Bears Volunteer Fundraisers Junior Cooperative Society The dedicated support of our auxiliaries and special groups is essential to the success of Cincinnati Children’s. For more than a century, volunteers have raised funds and assisted the medical center in many ways. While the auxiliaries and special groups vary in their activities, they share a common bond: a pride in Cincinnati Children’s and what they can help us accomplish. Association of Volunteers Founded in 1964, the Association of Volunteers provides "tender loving care" for the patients of Convalescent Hospital for Children, an affiliate of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. The association created and sponsors the annual Cincinnati Antiques Festival to raise funds for the Convalescent Hospital. The four-day festival has grown into one of the finest antique shows in the country and one of the most anticipated events of the local and regional calendar. President: Mrs. Marianne Miller Donation: $50,050 Established in 1910, the Junior Cooperative Society auxiliary operates and staffs the newly expanded gift shop of Cincinnati Children’s. The shop is packed with toys, games, novelties and unusual trinkets to cheer the spirits of hospitalized children and their families. The Junior Cooperative Society has donated funds toward the purchase of major medical equipment. The auxiliary also provides funding for the Infectious Diseases Division and for endowed research fellowships in pediatric infectious diseases. President: Mrs. Carolyn Kite Donation: $50,000 Kindervelt The largest Cincinnati Children’s auxiliary, Kindervelt is recognized as one of Greater Cincinnati’s outstanding volunteer organizations. It is composed of neighborhood or other common-interest groups joined together by a central, city-wide board of trustees. Kindervelt welcomes new members and encourages the formation of new groups. Its members reflect a cross-section of people and geographic areas of the Tristate region. The goal of "having fun while raising funds" is met without requiring specific time commitments or financial quotas. In 2001, Kindervelt reached a milestone: donations since 1971 now total more than $10 million.

For youngsters at the Islamic Center of Greater Cincinnati Sunday School and the International Academy of Cincinnati, the answer was simple. They collected 150 books to donate to Cincinnati Children’s, each inscribed with a “get well” wish from the children, says teacher and parent Sufia Sultan. “We chose to gather books instead of toys C i n c i n n a t i C h i l d r e n ’ s A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 01 C i n c i n n a t i C h i l d r e n ’ s A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 01 Gifts in honor celebrate the commitment to Cincinnati Children’s of donor and honoree alike.
