ANNUAL REPORT 2012 LETTER FROM JONNY Imerman Angels in 2012 can best be described in one word, IMPACT. The impact that we have on cancer survivors, fighters and caregivers is why we are here and why we do what we do. Our team is responsible for making personalized 1-on-1 connections for lives touched by cancer. In 2012, our services helped individuals in all fifty states and in over sixty countries scattered all over the globe. I am proud of the team we have developed and the positive impact we continue to achieve. The success of our program enables the organization to grow in all aspects as a whole. Everyone who joins Imerman Angels, whether a survivor, fighter, caregiver or supporter, will help us reach our goal that ensures no one ever fights cancer alone. I sincerely want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who has helped this organization grow and get to where it is today. We would not be here without you. Thank you to the mentor angels who share their stories. Thank you to the staff who makes this all possible. Thank you to the volunteers and donors for your time and generosity. Thank you to everyone else who believes in our mission. The impact we have in the cancer community is felt around the world and we are on the road to ensure no one faces cancer alone. With love and respect, Jonny Imerman LETTER FROM JOHN 2012 Was another EXCITING year for Imerman Angels! We saw our program grow to all-time high levels. We made close to 2,000 matches last year bringing our total number of matches to almost 8,000 since Imerman Angels’ inception. Imerman Angels’ financial position has never been stronger having raised over $875,000 with total net assets at the end of the year totaling over 1.3 million. We believe 2012 was the pivotal year in helping Imerman Angels significantly expand its reach in the coming years. We appreciate all the support we have received from so many people, companies, organizations, volunteers, etc. Our team appreciates every bit of it! We have set a three-year vision to expand our program to help 10,000 support seekers per year. We recognize it’s a lofty but very necessary goal in our quest that no one fights cancer alone. Thank you again for supporting Imerman Angels and we look forward to sharing more exciting news with you next year! Kindest regards, John May EXPANDING THE TEAM Our team of Cancer Support Specialists are the heart of our personalized peer support service. As cancer survivors and caregivers themselves, they embody the empathy that is at the core of what we do. In response to increasing demand for our service, by the end of the year our team of Cancer Support Specialists had more than tripled in size, growing from two to six. OUTCOMES FOCUS At Imerman Angels, we have ambitious goals: to improve the quality of life for cancer fighters, survivors, and caregivers. With the help of one of our key partners, The LIVESTRONG Foundation, we launched a survey program to begin measuring how our personalized peer support service impacts the quality of life of the people we serve. Outcome 1: Improve the quality of life for cancer fighters, survivors, and caregivers We believe that personalized 1-on-1 cancer support improves the quality of life for cancer fighters, survivors, and caregivers by providing hope and inspiration, reducing distress, decreasing isolation and lonliness. Outcome 2: Connection Perfection We aim to ensure that every support seeker gets the best personalized 1-on-1 cancer support match possible. Our continuous goal: 100% satisfaction. Outcome 3: More Fighters, Survivors, and Caregivers Helped There are approximately 1.5 million Americans diagnosed with cancer every year. Approximately 25% of them seek psychosocial support. That means there are 375,000 Americans annually who might use our service. We measure success by helping more and more people every day, week, month, and year. Outcome 4: Create a feeling of “WOW” amongst our constituents We want our constituents to feel a sense of “WOW” after their interactions with our staff and volunteers.

MARKETING AWARENESS & MEDIA Imerman Angels was featured on CNN, Windy City Live on ABC 7, and CLTV’s Living Healthy TV, plus in blogs such as Cancer Forward, Lake Michigan Shore, and JFS of Metropolitan Detroit, resulting in millions of impressions. These features discussed the significance of 1-on-1 cancer support, showcasing the stories of cancer fighters & survivors. These pair up stories brought new audiences into our database, allowing us to increase the quality of our matches. Social media provides an outlet for mentor angels, volunteers, cancer fighters and survivors to connect and engage, creating a community for open discussion and support, and directing more people to support our organization. “IMERMAN ANGELS HAS EXPONENTIALLY CHANGED OUR EXPERIENCE WITH CANCER. THE WHOLE PROCESS HAS BEEN TERRIFIC AND I COULDN’T ASK FOR A BETTER MENTOR, SHE REALLY IS AN ANGEL. THANK YOU!” 2012 EVENTS Events such as the 2nd Annual Golf Outing and Spring Launch Party at Moe’s Cantina were held to create awareness and raise funds. The Spring Launch Party at Moe’s Cantina promoted the introduction of our “What’s Your Date?” fundraising campaign. WhatsYourDate.org is now shared across multiple social media platforms with 60 people sharing their stories and raising funds for a combined total of $6,898. The Spread Your Wings Boat Party celebrated our exciting 6th Anniversary milestone. Third Party Events like the 2012 NYC Event and 2nd Annual Razzmatazz were put together by our supporters to benefit Imerman Angels. Partnerships We developed meaningful partnerships in the community to help spread awareness of our mission. For example, Chicago based candy company Ferrara Pan donated 70,000 Imerman Angels co-branded boxes of Lemonheads for us to distribute at events and as icebreakers at meetings. We donated these Lemonheads candy to local hospitals, they are said to help alleviate the metallic taste received after chemotherapy. We developed a partnership with Hegele Logistic, who provides highly customized logistic solutions along the supply chain for manufacturers of high tech equipment that go beyond the scope of shipping and storage. In order to help spread our mission Hegele equipped their transportation fleet with Imerman Angels logos and promotional material. Due to the nature of their business, vehicles are parked at hospitals or even cancer centers every day. In June, 2012, Hegele Logistic celebrated the Grand Opening of their new logistics center in Wood Dale, IL , where Jonny Imerman served as key note speaker. 2012 Language of Cancer Fighters 2012 Countries Served (other than USA) 2012 Type of Cancer USA 2012 Matches by State (all states represented) STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011 ASSETS 2012 2011 Current Assets Cash & Cash Equivalents $ 248,075 $ 88,402 Program Service Fees Receivable –Net 8,333 1,853 Prepaid Expenses 15,000 -- Security Deposit 4, 983 4,983 Investments, at Fair Value 1,021,266 1,000,000 Total Current Assets 297,657 95,238 Property and Equipment, Net of Accumulated Depreciation and Amortization 4,623 15,136 TOTAL ASSETS $ 1,302,280 1,110,374 LIABILITIES AND NET ASSETS Account Payable $ 26,588 9,022 Net Assets Unrestricted 259,494 101,352 Temporarily Restricted 16,198 -- Permanently Restricted 1,000,000 1,000,000 Total Net Assets 275,692 101,352 TOTAL LIABILITY AND NET ASSETS $ 1,302,280 1,110,374 STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011 2012 2011 CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets $ 174,340 915,730 Adjustments to Reconcile Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets to Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities – Depreciation 10,513 17,293 Net Realized and Unrealized Gain on Investments (39,232) -- Contribution of Marketable Securities (5,079) -- Fees from Investment Account 8,045 -- Contributions restricted for long-term purposes -- 1,000,000 Increase in Accounts Receivable (6,480) (1,853) Increase in Prepaid Expense (15,000) -- Increase in Account Payable 17,566 9,022 Net Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities 144,673 (59,808) ________________________________________ CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES Purchases of Investments -- -- Proceeds from Sales of Investments -- -- Net Cash Flows Provided by Investments -- -- ________________________________________ CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCIAL SERVICES Proceeds from Release of Permanent Restriction 15,000 -- NET INCREASE (DEACREASE) TO CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS 159,673 (59,808) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - BEGINNING OF YEAR 88,402 148,210 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS – END OF YEAR $ 248,075 $ 88,402 STATEMENTS OF ACTIVITIES & CHANGES IN NET ASSETS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011 2012 2011 REVENUES AND OTHER SUPORT Contributions $ 788,551 458,112 Program Service Fees 50,000 45,850 Investment Income 21,182 11 Gain on Sale of Securities 4,078 -- Net Unrealized Appreciation on 13,985 -- Investments Total Revenue and Other Support 877,796 503,973 ________________________________________ EXPENSES Programs $ 472,812 422,487 General and Administrative 58,965 75,386 Development 171,679 90,370 Total Expenses 703,456 588,243 ________________________________________ EXCESS OF REVENUE OVER EXPENSES 174,340 (84,270) TRANSFERS: Only in 2012 INCREASE TO DONOR DESIGNATED 1,000,000 ENDOWMENT FUND INCREASE (DECREASE) TO NET ASSETS 174,340 (84,270) NET ASSESTS – BEGINNING OF YEAR 1,101,352 185,622 NET ASSETS – END OF YEAR 1,275,692 1,101,352 “THE PAIRING OF SCOTT AND MYSELF WAS PERFECT.
