<strong>2009</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Donors</strong><br />
<strong>Our</strong> <strong>Thanks</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>You</strong>.
It is not how many years we<br />
live, but what we do with<br />
them. It is not what we receive,<br />
but what we give <strong>to</strong> others.<br />

Children and is now a healthy <strong>to</strong>ddler who is free of cancer.
August, 2010<br />
Dear Friends:<br />
Almost every day, I have the joy of learning about a gift that has been<br />
received <strong>to</strong> help children in the care of <strong>Nemours</strong>. My heart warms when<br />
I think of the impulse that moved a donor <strong>to</strong> make that commitment.<br />
The <strong>Nemours</strong> Fund for Children’s Health accepts thousands of<br />
gifts each year—through the mail, over the internet, in a bequest or<br />
sometimes from the donor’s own hand when they come <strong>to</strong> visit us.<br />
Whether the contribution is small or significant, I know that it was<br />
given not only because that individual or organization cares, but also<br />
because they have confidence in the ability of <strong>Nemours</strong> <strong>to</strong> help res<strong>to</strong>re<br />
and improve the health of children.<br />
Support from donors helps <strong>Nemours</strong> improve patient care, provide facilities that are attractive and comfortable for<br />
children and families, advance life-saving biomedical research, and strengthen innovative prevention and education<br />
programs. And because of Mr. duPont’s Trust, 100 percent of each dollar contributed goes <strong>to</strong> help children.<br />
<strong>Donors</strong> have many choices for giving <strong>to</strong> help children. Some contribu<strong>to</strong>rs choose <strong>to</strong> support research <strong>to</strong> find better<br />
treatments for children with leukemia. Others direct their gift <strong>to</strong> a specific clinical area such as orthopedics or<br />
cardiac care, or <strong>to</strong> help improve facilities. Many donors just ask us <strong>to</strong> use their gift <strong>to</strong> meet the most urgent needs<br />
of children.<br />
However you choose <strong>to</strong> give, whatever the amount you contribute, your gift is incredibly important <strong>to</strong> children and<br />
their families. They may never know your name—just that someone cared.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Lori J. Counts, CFRE<br />

Continuing A Legacy of Caring—David Lyons<br />
David F. Lyons, Sr. became aware of the needs of others<br />
very early in life. His father, Garrett B. Lyons Sr., DDS,<br />
was the Direc<strong>to</strong>r of the Children’s Dental Clinic at<br />
<strong>Nemours</strong>/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children. “I often<br />
went with Dad on Saturdays when he had an emergency<br />
patient. He had a special <strong>to</strong>uch in caring for children with<br />
special needs,” he says.<br />
After Dr. Lyons passed away in 2007, David began a<br />
successful fundraising effort <strong>to</strong> endow a Fellowship in<br />
Dentistry for Children with Special Needs at the Hospital<br />
in his memory. “There are so many children who cannot<br />
get the care they need in the community. I wanted <strong>to</strong><br />
make sure a new generation of dentists could carry on<br />
Dad’s work,” he says.<br />
David is the founder of Lyons Companies, Delaware’s<br />
largest privately held insurance brokerage and risk<br />
management firm. He serves on the boards of the<br />
Delaware Business Roundtable, Artisan’s Bank, and<br />
The Tatnall School.<br />
David is also Chairman of the Board of the Delaware<br />
Council for Economic Education and Entrepreneurship at<br />
the Lerner School of Business at University of Delaware.<br />
“<strong>Nemours</strong>/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children is one<br />
of the best in the country,” comments David. “It is having<br />
an amazing, even world-wide, impact on children’s<br />
health. When I played football in high school, I <strong>to</strong>re a<br />
ligament in my knee, had surgery at the Hospital and<br />
spent six months in a cast. Now, due <strong>to</strong> improvements in<br />
orthopedic care, kids with this type of injury can often<br />
walk out of the hospital after outpatient surgery.”<br />
David and his wife Kate are long-time members of The<br />
<strong>Nemours</strong> Society and generous donors. In <strong>2009</strong>, he<br />
received The Inspiration Award, given <strong>to</strong> an individual in<br />
the community who personifies philanthropy.<br />
“I want <strong>to</strong> help people understand that it takes community<br />
investment <strong>to</strong> truly help <strong>Nemours</strong> succeed in transforming<br />
care for children,” he says.
<strong>Thanks</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>You</strong><br />
The <strong>Nemours</strong> Fund for Children’s Health gratefully acknowledges the support<br />

Golf Balls for a Good Cause<br />
Brothers Braydin and Torin wanted<br />
<strong>to</strong> help their younger sister Karina,<br />
a cancer survivor, and other kids by<br />
raising money for cancer research.<br />
The boys collect stray golf balls from<br />
the outskirts of the course near their<br />
home and then clean and re-sell the<br />
balls <strong>to</strong> golfers. Braydin and Torin<br />
contributed $1,500 <strong>to</strong> the <strong>Nemours</strong><br />
Center for Childhood Cancer<br />
Research in <strong>2009</strong>.
How <strong>You</strong>r Gift Helps Children<br />
<strong>You</strong>r contribution has a direct impact on the health and well-being of<br />
children. In <strong>2009</strong>, funds were distributed <strong>to</strong> improve care for our patients,<br />
underwrite life-saving biomedical research, provide supportive services for<br />
patients and their families, and educate our clinical staff <strong>to</strong> improve their<br />
knowledge and skills.<br />
Here are just a few examples showing how gifts from donors like you help<br />
<strong>Nemours</strong> keep children healthy—both now and in the future:<br />
Renovations were made <strong>to</strong> hema<strong>to</strong>logy/oncology patient care areas<br />
at <strong>Nemours</strong> Children’s Clinic, Jacksonville, where children receive<br />
treatments for leukemia, sickle cell disease and hemophilia.<br />
Equipment was purchased for the Pediatric Audi<strong>to</strong>ry and Speech<br />
Sciences Center at <strong>Nemours</strong>/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children <strong>to</strong><br />
help diagnose and treat children with conditions affecting their speech<br />
and hearing.<br />
The art therapy program at <strong>Nemours</strong> Children’s Clinic, Orlando,<br />
received funding <strong>to</strong> continue giving sick children an opportunity <strong>to</strong><br />
express their feelings and creativity.<br />
Equipment and supplies were purchased <strong>to</strong> establish a Tumor Bank,<br />
which archives tissue samples from patients used <strong>to</strong> test new drugs<br />
for childhood cancers and other diseases.<br />
Pacemakers and other equipment for treating cardiac patients was<br />
acquired for the use of the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit of <strong>Nemours</strong>/<br />
Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children. Many of the patients<br />
receiving care are newborn babies.<br />

Gifts From the Heart<br />
Kids are still kids, even though they may be hospitalized or receiving<br />
outpatient treatments such as chemotherapy. Toys, board games, DVDs,<br />
books, craft supplies, video games, dolls, new stuffed animals and other<br />
items go a long way <strong>to</strong>wards helping children stay happy and occupied<br />
during days, weeks or even months in the hospital.<br />
<strong>Our</strong> Child Life Specialists help children cope with their hospital experience<br />
by using <strong>to</strong>ys, games, crafts and activities <strong>to</strong> relieve stress and provide a<br />
distraction from medical tests and treatments.<br />
Individuals, churches, schools, corporations, civic associations and<br />
other groups often donate these items. We are most grateful for their<br />
thoughtfulness and generosity.<br />
Visit <strong>Nemours</strong>.org/give <strong>to</strong> see a complete list of items appropriate for<br />
donation <strong>to</strong> <strong>Nemours</strong>/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilming<strong>to</strong>n,<br />
Delaware or <strong>Nemours</strong> Children’s Clinic locations in Florida.<br />

The Auxiliary of the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children<br />
Since its founding in 1985, the Auxiliary of the Alfred I. duPont Hospital<br />
for Children has made a significant impact on the well-being of families and<br />
children through their many gifts of time and resources.<br />
The Auxiliary, 100 members strong, operates The Red Balloon Gift Shop,<br />
which offers a wealth of gifts, <strong>to</strong>ys, games and other items. All proceeds from<br />
the Shop, a favorite s<strong>to</strong>p for families and <strong>Nemours</strong> staff alike, are donated<br />
<strong>to</strong> the Hospital, as are funds raised from book sales, fudge sales and other<br />
events.<br />
Auxilians staff the Hospital’s Family Resource Center, Admissions Service<br />
and a twice-daily Hospitality Hour that offers complimentary refreshments<br />
<strong>to</strong> families. Children become more familiar with the hospital through the<br />
Auxiliary’s Hospital Awareness Program.<br />
In the last 25 years, Auxiliary members have contributed more than 225,000<br />
hours of service and $600,000 <strong>to</strong> meet the needs of children and families, such<br />
as new furniture for waiting areas or a generous gift <strong>to</strong> help build the Family<br />
Resource Center. <strong>Our</strong> Auxilians are also very proud of the Financial Assistance Fund, which offers help <strong>to</strong> families with<br />
expenses such as transportation, utility bills or other urgent needs during their child’s illness and hospitalization.

<strong>Our</strong> Corporate Partners<br />
AstraZeneca—Investing in Children’s Health<br />
Global pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca is more than just a close<br />
neighbor of <strong>Nemours</strong>/Alfred I. duPont Hospital in Wilming<strong>to</strong>n, Delaware. It<br />
is a generous and involved friend. The company’s transformational $1 million<br />
gift in <strong>2009</strong> <strong>to</strong> support the hospital’s planned expansion is the latest example<br />
of its partnership with <strong>Nemours</strong>.<br />
“The Hospital is such an important resource for families,” says Rich Fante,<br />
President US and RVP North America for AstraZeneca. As a parent of threeyear-old<br />
twins, I can tell you that it is a great comfort <strong>to</strong> know that world-class<br />
medical treatment is available so close <strong>to</strong> home.”<br />
The company has been a generous sponsor of A Night at <strong>Nemours</strong> for all five<br />
years the black-tie event has been held. Through AstraZeneca’s Healthcare<br />
Heroes program, volunteers presented “Shadow Buddies” dolls <strong>to</strong> the<br />
Hospital’s Child Life program. These dolls help children understand their<br />
medical conditions and provide a special friend.<br />
In <strong>2009</strong>, a gift from AstraZeneca made possible The Body Theater, a video<br />
display located in a busy waiting area of the hospital. It shows three hours of<br />
engaging child-oriented content including video, games, quizzes and mystery<br />
pictures in both English and Spanish <strong>to</strong> help children and their families gain a<br />
better understanding of asthma.<br />
<strong>Nemours</strong> Fund for Children’s Health is grateful <strong>to</strong> AstraZeneca and its<br />
employees for caring so much about children and their health.<br />
Many Ways <strong>to</strong> Help<br />
<strong>Annual</strong> gifts from local, regional and national<br />
businesses and corporations provide resources <strong>to</strong><br />
support children’s health.<br />
Corporate matching gift programs maximize individual<br />
contributions.<br />
Corporate support of special projects and capital needs<br />
is welcomed.<br />
Sponsorship underwrites A Night at <strong>Nemours</strong><br />
(Delaware Valley), A Night with <strong>Nemours</strong><br />

other special events.<br />
Volunteering at <strong>Nemours</strong>/Alfred I. duPont<br />

“Skanska is proud <strong>to</strong> be part of a team effort <strong>to</strong> provide outstanding health care facilities for <strong>Nemours</strong>,” says Mr.<br />
Hames. “We see tremendous potential in what this organization does for children.”
Doing the Right Thing for Children—David and Katie Hancox<br />
By his freshman year in high school, David Hancox, RN,<br />
BSN, knew what he wanted <strong>to</strong> do with his life. “That was<br />
the year my dad was diagnosed with colon cancer. I saw<br />
the importance of good nursing care and it really grew on<br />
me,” he remembers.<br />
David, now a nurse manager of a medical/surgical unit at<br />
<strong>Nemours</strong>/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, and his<br />
wife Katie, a teacher, are the parents of two young boys—<br />
Luke (4) and Liam (2). Unfortunately, David lost both his<br />
father and mother <strong>to</strong> cancer well before their time.<br />
“These events got me thinking about our plans for the<br />
future much earlier in life than most people,” he says.<br />
“Katie and I both work with children, so arranging for a<br />
bequest <strong>to</strong> <strong>Nemours</strong> was a very simple decision. It was the<br />
right thing <strong>to</strong> do.”<br />
David, a nurse with <strong>Nemours</strong> for eleven years, grew up<br />
with a tradition of giving back. His parents had several<br />
charitable causes <strong>to</strong> which they were devoted.<br />
“In nursing, I really found my niche in life,” says David.<br />
“Beyond the bedside care we provide, nurses have a<br />
special opportunity <strong>to</strong> build relationships with patients<br />
and families—whether they are here for a few days or<br />
return many times because of a chronic condition. We do<br />
everything it takes <strong>to</strong> meet their needs and provide the best<br />
care possible.”<br />
“In my role as nurse manager, I am able <strong>to</strong> effect positive<br />
change for children by helping my staff <strong>to</strong> deliver excellent<br />
care and create bonds with patient families,” comments<br />
David.<br />
“David and I are already teaching our boys <strong>to</strong> be aware<br />
that not everyone is as fortunate as they are,” says Katie.<br />
“We want the impulse <strong>to</strong> help others <strong>to</strong> be inside them.”<br />
“When I reflect on my own life, I realize how lucky I am<br />
<strong>to</strong> do this work,” says David. “I am grateful each day for<br />
what I have.”
<strong>You</strong>r Legacy for Children<br />
There has never been a better time <strong>to</strong> place your trust<br />
in <strong>Nemours</strong> <strong>to</strong> give children a healthier future. With a<br />
planned gift, such as a bequest, you help <strong>to</strong> ensure that<br />
the best care, the most advanced research and innovative<br />
health and education programs will benefit children even<br />
beyond your own lifetime.<br />
Now there’s an easy way <strong>to</strong> explore your options<br />
for a legacy gift. <strong>Our</strong> new planned giving web pages<br />
(www.nemours.org/planyourlegacy) offer a wealth of<br />
information about bequests, trusts and other types of<br />
planned gifts. There are even interactive features such<br />
as a gift calcula<strong>to</strong>r. Many gift plans offer significant tax<br />
benefits for you and for your loved ones.<br />
When you inform the <strong>Nemours</strong> Fund for Children’s<br />
Health of your plans <strong>to</strong> leave a legacy for children, you<br />
will become a member of The Carillon Society and receive<br />
a special recognition gift.<br />

<strong>You</strong>r Gift Saves Lives<br />
In the beautiful, light-filled Cardiac Intensive Care Unit<br />
at <strong>Nemours</strong>/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, tiny<br />
newborns with serious heart defects and older children<br />
with cardiac disease are cared for by a dedicated staff of<br />
physicians, surgeons, nurses and respira<strong>to</strong>ry therapists.<br />
In <strong>2009</strong>, life-saving equipment such as temporary<br />
pacemakers and an airway cart were purchased for the<br />
Cardiac Intensive Care Unit with funds contributed by our<br />
donors.<br />
Michele Derderian, RN, cares for patients in the Unit.<br />
“Sometimes children develop a heart rhythm abnormality<br />
during surgery. A temporary pacemaker helps them. If<br />
the problem doesn’t resolve on its own, a permanent<br />
pacemaker may be implanted.”<br />
“Pacemakers are also used for older children who have<br />
cardiac arrhythmias due <strong>to</strong> illness or prior surgeries,”<br />
says Michele. “We are grateful <strong>to</strong> have these additional<br />
pacemakers available, especially the ones that help both<br />
sides of the heart pump.”<br />
Respira<strong>to</strong>ry therapist Denise Sebzda also works with<br />
young patients in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. She<br />
frequently uses a new airway cart made possible by donor<br />
support.<br />
“In an emergency situation, it’s important <strong>to</strong> have<br />
everything right there on the cart, so you are not hunting<br />
for equipment or supplies when every moment counts,”<br />
she says.<br />
“Here is an good example of how the airway cart is used:<br />
a baby girl had a breathing tube put in during surgery,<br />
but when the tube was later removed she struggled <strong>to</strong><br />
breathe. We were able <strong>to</strong> put in a new tube at the bedside.<br />
Everything we needed was right on the cart.”<br />
“The airway cart has a fiberoptic light that allows us <strong>to</strong><br />
better visualize the airway, making the whole process<br />
easier,” says Denise. “It helps us bring these children<br />
through life-threatening crises.”<br />
“I love what we do,” comments Michele. “Kids can look<br />
forward <strong>to</strong> a more normal childhood.”
