2009 Annual Report to Donors Our Thanks to You. L403602_NFCH AR-R.indd 1 8/10/10 9:35 AM t is not how many years we Ilive, but what we do with them. It is not what we receive, but what we give to others. Evangeline Cory Booth (1865—1950) Fourth General of The Salvation Army Cover: Ayla was born with neuroblastoma, the most common solid tumor in children. She was treated at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children and is now a healthy toddler who is free of cancer. L403602_NFCH AR-R.indd 2 8/10/10 9:36 AM August, 2010 Dear Friends: Almost every day, I have the joy of learning about a gift that has been received to help children in the care of Nemours. My heart warms when I think of the impulse that moved a donor to make that commitment. The Nemours Fund for Children’s Health accepts thousands of gifts each year—through the mail, over the internet, in a bequest or sometimes from the donor’s own hand when they come to visit us. Whether the contribution is small or significant, I know that it was given not only because that individual or organization cares, but also because they have confidence in the ability of Nemours to help restore and improve the health of children. Support from donors helps Nemours improve patient care, provide facilities that are attractive and comfortable for children and families, advance life-saving biomedical research, and strengthen innovative prevention and education programs. And because of Mr. duPont’s Trust, 100 percent of each dollar contributed goes to help children. Donors have many choices for giving to help children. Some contributors choose to support research to find better treatments for children with leukemia. Others direct their gift to a specific clinical area such as orthopedics or cardiac care, or to help improve facilities. Many donors just ask us to use their gift to meet the most urgent needs of children. However you choose to give, whatever the amount you contribute, your gift is incredibly important to children and their families. They may never know your name—just that someone cared. Sincerely, Lori J. Counts, CFRE Managing Director Nemours Fund for Children’s Health L403602_NFCH AR-R.indd 3 8/10/10 9:36 AM The Nemours Society was established to honor and recognize individuals whose annual contributions total $1,000 or more.
