YEARBOOK Page 1 2014 Yearbook A SUCCESSFUL YEAR

A MESSAGE FROM OUTGOING CEO DOUG PORTER AND BOARD CHAIRMAN BILL BUDIG

Dear Donors, Supporters, Friends and Families:

We are proud to share this 2014 yearbook with you, which highlights our charity’s commitment to serving families and less fortunate young people in our community. Through our three core programs – Ronald McDonald Houses and Family Rooms, Scholarship Program, and Ronald McDonald Care Mobile – we have been able to touch and enhance the lives of almost 10,000 people in our communities.

We are fulfilled in knowing that we have served those who are going through the darkest days of their lives while their child is medically compromised. Providing assistance to academically-outstanding, community-minded, financially-disadvantaged college-bound students or providing school-age children with physicals and vaccinations are also critical parts of our mission.

As Doug prepares to retire this summer, we are thrilled to welcome our new CEO, Holly Buckendahl, who will continue this commitment to providing the best in service to those in need. Holly, who comes to us having served as CEO of RMHC Kansas City for the past seven years, is uniquely qualified to assume the leadership reins here in Chicagoland.

Holly has a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Nebraska and while in Kansas City, she built a new House, completed a capital campaign, greatly raised standards and built a high functioning team.

A special thanks to all of you who have given so much to RMHC-CNI over the past year and for the many years preceding. Without the commitment of so many, our charity would not be as strong as it is today.

Onward and upward! Doug Porter and Bill Budig Page 2 2014 Yearbook FAMILY STORY THE GODISH FAMILY

Craig has been involved with RMHC-CNI since 1990 when he realized that life had been very good to him and he was ready to give back. His father, who owned Foltos Tonsorial Parlor before Craig took over, was always helping other people and instilled the importance of giving back to others to his son.

Since 1990, Craig has sponsored a 24-hour Cut-A-Thon, with all proceeds benefitting RMHC-CNI. For 24 hours straight, Craig and his stylists cut hair and donate every dollar raised to RMHC-CNI. The salon also sells raffle tickets for donated goods to raise additional funds. Over the past 25 years, Craig has raised more than $300,000 for RMHC-CNI. CRAIG FOLTOS, OWNER, “I feel that I am giving to a charity that helps families and that I am making FOLTOS TONSORIAL PARLOR a difference in their lives,” Craig said.

In addition to the annual Cut-A-Thon, Craig also visits the Houses once a month to donate his hair cutting services to families. “When you give to RMHC-CNI, you’re going to get much more than you give,” Craig said.

Pro golfer Luke Donald and his wife Diane first became involved with RMHC-CNI three years ago when the couple was searching for a local charity to align with.

The Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago had just opened and the new Ronald McDonald House near Lurie Children’s shortly thereafter. When the couple toured the new House, they really fell in the love with the cause. “The House resonates with me because we travel a lot as a family and we know how important it is to be together,” Diane said.

Diane, former RMHC-CNI board member and the mother of three young children, feels that it is incredibly important to support those families in LUKE AND DIANE DONALD their time of critical need. As part of their support, Luke has committed to a fundraising initiative called “Luke’s Birdies Fore the House”. Through this fundraiser, supporters pledge funds for every birdie Luke makes during the season. Since its inception three years ago, it has raised $100,000 to support our work.

CHICAGO WHITE SOX CHARITIES Charities (CSWC) has always been actively involved with local Chicago hospitals through its philanthropic efforts. When the new Ronald McDonald House near Lurie Children’s opened in 2013, CSWC ramped up their efforts even more in support of charities that serve children. Specifically, they generously donated $100,000 in support of the new House and continue to support RMHC-CNI through donation of game tickets, player engagement at the Ronald McDonald Houses, gift drives, and other fundraising initiatives. Part of the rooftop at the Ronald McDonald House near Lurie Children’s is designed to recognize the White Sox. “The partnership between CSWC and RMHC-CNI provides us with an opportunity to make such a tangible difference in the lives of families at such a time of crisis,” said Christine O’Reilly, Vice President, Community Relations/ Executive Director, Chicago White Sox Charities. “Further, the relationship allows the White Sox to have exposure to more audiences, to elevate awareness of the White Sox in the community and to highlight who we are off the field,” said O’Reilly.

CHICAGO BULLS CHARITIES & THE CHICAGO BULLS The Chicago Bulls and Chicago Bulls Charities have an evolving, partnership with RMHC-CNI. For many years, the organization and its charity have donated tickets and the use of suites for Bulls home games, hosted an annual “Bulls Spectacular” celebration at the various Houses and orchestrated visits from various Bulls players, legends and executives. Through our partnership, RMHC-CNI has been designated as the monetary beneficiary of the “United Scrap Metal” recycling program which recycles all materials used at the United Center during games and events. Most recently, the Chicago Bulls graciously furnished a game room in the Ronald McDonald House near Lurie Children’s Hospital, fully equipped with memorabilia, televisions, video games and a pop-a-shot! “Chicago Bulls Charities and the Chicago Bulls are proud of our strong and long- standing partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana. Ronald McDonald House truly provides a ‘home away from home’ for families in need and it has been incredible working with them over the last decade. Our players, ambassadors and staff have been touched by their experiences spending time with children and families during their visits.” – Nancy Reinsdorf, President of Chicago Bulls Charities Page 7 2014 Yearbook ANNUAL DONORS
