Your Gifts Make Us Better W Thank you for supporting our efforts to make Arkansas a healthier place for children e celebrate you and others who gave to Arkansas Children’s Hospital and the ACH Research Institute in 2009. Thanks to your support, ACH was able to continue to offer daily care, love and hope to our patients, while planning for the future care of this most precious population. In what was the toughest economic climate this country has seen in years, donors continued to give to our mission. “We are fortunate that our role is not about keeping the lights on,” says John Bel, ACH Foundation president. “Because the hospital is well-managed financially, we are able to raise money to improve the margin of excellence – taking everything good the hospital can do and making it better.” In 2009, the ACH Foundation raised $21.1 million. That figure represents 40,928 gifts. The major areas supported by donor gifts included construction, research, equipment, current program support and endowment. Within each of these broad categories are hundreds of projects that are near and dear to our donors. Thank you. Your gifts make us better and put us in a position to face the future for our children with confidence. Editor’s Note: The spring issue of ACHiever is where we have listed our annual Donor Roll of Honor each year for many years. We have been proud to share with readers the names of those individuals, corporations, charitable organizations and others who made gifts of $1,000 and more in the previous calendar year. We are pleased that our list of donors continues to grow each year. We are so grateful for the continued support you give. The growth of our donor list means we must devote more and more space in the magazine. In an effort to celebrate donors, but also manage costs, we will not print our Donor Roll of Honor in the magazine, but it will be posted on the web at www.archildrens.org, as it has been in previous years. If you would like a print version of our 2009 Donor Roll of Honor, please call us at 501-364-1485 or 800-880-7491, or send a written request to Arkansas Children’s Hospital Foundation, 1 Children’s Way Slot 661, Little Rock, AR 72202. 12
“Our mission to bring care, love and hope to children and their families did not stop because the economy was bad, and we are grateful to the donors who continued to support us.” — John Bel, ACH Foundation President We need your help There is still more to do. With your help, we are making Arkansas a healthier place for our children, but there is still so much good that is possible. We will continue to focus on four key areas affecting children’s health: pediatric care, research, education and prevention. As long as we have work to do in those areas, we need your help. As long as children face serious illnesses and injury, we need your help. As long as we are searching for the answers to allergies, birth defects, diabetes, cancer and other illnesses, we need your help. As long as there is a need to educate and prepare professionals to care for children, we need your help. As long as children continue to be injured, disabled or killed in preventable accidents, we need your help. With your help, we can do more for children and we can do better for children. Every dollar makes a difference. 13
