Dear Friends:

Dino Carbone loves everything about his job. As Administrative Director for Materials Management for Nemours, he is in charge of purchasing and contracting, shipping and receiving, distribution of supplies and much more for Nemours locations in and Florida.

“I try to do what’s best for the enterprise while also being sensitive to local concerns,” he says. Before joining Nemours eight years ago, Dino held positions at adult acute care hospitals and health systems. “I like the fact that I provide support for our caregivers and take a lot of pride in knowing that what I do impacts care for children.”

Dino, who was presented with The Inspiration Award in 2010, and his wife Deborah have been members of The Nemours Society since its inception. “I really believe in the Nemours mission. Kids are our future leaders and they deserve a chance to grow up healthy,” he says.

Dino also wants to set a good example for his sons, Dino, age 8, and Nicholas, age 6. “When the Annual Report to Donors comes out, I always point out that our gift is from ‘Dino & Deborah Carbone and Family’—and that includes them.”

For the past six years, Dino has taken on the added responsibility of serving as Sponsorship Chairman for both galas: A Night at Nemours in Delaware and A Night with Nemours in Jacksonville, Florida. His close relationships with Nemours vendors gives him an added advantage. “It’s a great diversion from my ‘day job’ and gives me a chance to help Nemours in another way,” remarks Dino.

“Simple words cannot express the appreciation I have for Nemours and all it has done for me and my family,” says Dino. “It feels natural for me to give something back.”

The Inspiration Award is presented annually to an individual who demonstrates personal generosity and inspires others to give. Richard T. Christopher and David F.

The generous efforts of the nation’s fruit and vegetable growers and the Produce for Kids (PFK) charity provide a double benefit for Nemours/ Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children: raising funds to support care for sick children and promoting healthy eating for kids and families. Their innovative program is implemented with the help of produce broker JOH and 119 ACME stores in the and .

Since 2006, the program has resulted in contributions totaling more than $102,000 for the benefit of duPont Hospital. “This is a remarkable partnership,” says Ryan Noyes, Manager of Government Affairs & Community Relations for ACME. “We are grateful to the vendors who make this possible as well as to our loyal shoppers.”

PFK raises funds for non-profit organizations that benefit children and educates shoppers about healthy eating through promotional campaigns in local grocery stores. In-store and online games and activities are available as well as resources for parents and kids.

Participating produce vendors donate a percentage of sales to PFK during spring and fall promotions. Jay Schneider, Produce Category Manager for , says, “When vendors hear about the program, they want to get involved. Hearing stories about sick children melts their hearts. We think it’s a win-win for everybody involved.”

“Our organization was started by John Shuman, a Vidalia onion grower, after his son was hospitalized,” says Kim Avola, Marketing Director for PFK. “He talked to the nurses on the floor about how the needs of the hospital were met and decided to get involved in fundraising.” Since 2002, PFK has donated $3.1M to children’s hospitals and organizations.

“Funds raised through ACME stay right in the communities they serve,” says Kim. “We have an ideal mission, encouraging families to choose fresh, healthy foods and cook together, as well as helping to raise funds to meet the needs of children.”

Woodstown Policeman's Association The D.O. Believe Foundation Dominic Osorio was a strong-willed, rambunctious boy of five, funny and observant of life. When he was only five, the unthinkable happened. Dominic was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Although he endured two , chemotherapy and radiation, Dominic never complained.

Dominic loved superheroes so much that his grandmother nicknamed him The Dominator. As he began radiation treatments, Dominic’s mother and the rehabilitation staff invented a story for him about how The Dominator would lie perfectly still while the radiation machine attacked the “evil megazoid” in his head. Unfortunately all the efforts of his doctors and nurses could not stop the cancer from growing.

Eventually, Dominic slipped into a coma from which he would not emerge. He died on November 19, 2009. “Dominic always believed in tomorrow,” says his mother, Nicole Spagna of Bel Air, Maryland.

“There was a huge outpouring of support from the community as his story became known through newspaper articles and television coverage,” remembers Nicole. “People wanted to give him toys, but I knew that research was far more important. It was infuriating to be told that there were no more options for my son and to know that so little money is dedicated to pediatric cancer research.”

Less than a year after Dominic passed away, Nicole established The D.O. Believe Foundation in memory of her son. The Dominator 5K Walk and Run was its first major fundraising effort. Sponsored by her company, Blue Dot Services of Maryland, the event attracted 400 participants and raised $20,000. Nicole decided to donate the proceeds to the Nemours Center for Childhood Cancer Research.

“I will live with this loss for the rest of my life,” comments Nicole. “Raising this money for research helps me change things for kids. I see the researchers at Nemours as the right people to help me stop this monster.”

The Dominator 5K Walk and Run will be held in Forest Hill, Maryland on September 3, 2011. Visit www.dobelieve.org to learn more. How Your Gift Helps Children

Berry, PhD Jessie’s brother. Nemours Board of Directors Carillon Society Member Dan Mundy—A Wish to Care For Children

Dan Mundy has a simple but heartfelt philosophy. “I want to help take care of children who haven’t had a chance,” says the Orlando, Florida resident. “My belief is that we all ought to give to help others.”

Dan and his wife Jan own Balloons on the Run, a successful balloon decoration business she started in the early 1990s and he joined six years ago after a long career as an airline agent. “We probably provide balloons for half of the charitable events in the Orlando area because our prices are reasonable,” he laughs. “It can get pretty hectic.”

“I first learned about Nemours when I heard about the new hospital being built in Orlando,” says Dan. “I attended an open house to find out more. There is nothing that deserves more support than kids who are ill, whether they have cancer, heart disease or a chronic condition like diabetes or asthma.”

Dan chose to support Nemours Children’s Hospital with a bequest through his will. “I know that Jan and our two grown children will be comfortable—everything is in place. But I also wanted to have something in perpetuity to account for my time on earth,” he remarks.

“During my days with the airline, I came to know an organization that brought children with life-threatening health conditions and their families to Orlando for a few days of fun.” says Dan. “They had a desk in the terminal to welcome families when they arrived. I saw these children come through the airport each day and it made me realize what children and families go through when they are coping with cancer and other diseases.”

“If I could make one wish come true through my gift to Nemours, it would be to extend children’s lives, hopefully to adulthood, and help them be able to do things other kids do, “ says Dan.
