2013 annual report - Flying Horse Farms
OUR 2013 FAMILY ALBUM: celebrating a year of milestones 2013 ANNUAL REPORT OUR MISSION IS MAGIC. We provide magical, transformative camp experiences for children with serious illnesses — free of charge. When you come through the gates of Flying Horse Farms, the first thing you see is the sign that says, “Welcome home.” More than a simple greeting, this sentiment is one of the unique core values that guide us and hold us together as an organization. Throughout this inaugural annual report, we’ll share more of the values that move us and the moments that inspire us — not to mention many other exciting, first-time and important 2013 milestones we’re proud of and delighted by, such as: • We welcomed home 698 campers and families during six summer residential camp weeks, and eight family and alumni camp weekends • Our medical and hospital partnerships are stronger than ever — doctors and nurses from each of our partner hospitals continue to provide on-site medical care that instills peace of mind for parents and offers respite from the everyday worries of life for our campers • We installed our new ropes course just in time for the summer residential camp season, so campers could conquer their fears from 40-feet in the air • The American Camp Association honored us with accreditation and a program excellence award • Canine counselors returned and we hosted our first Kentucky Derby • Our Alcoa Good & Green Fellows returned home for another camp season to create sustainability-focused learning opportunities for our campers • And so much more — flip through our 2013 family album and annual report to help us celebrate every milestone We are overwhelmingly grateful for our passionate and dedicated community of supporters: the thousands of volunteers who generously give their time and talent to camp, the donors who support our financial needs (allowing all campers to attend camp free of charge), the medical partners who introduce their patients to camp, and the families who trust us to provide the very best medical care and transformative camp experiences for their campers. Thanks to each of you for making the power of camp possible. Your efforts and support allow us to do the work we do. On behalf of our campers and all of us on the crew, “Thank you.” And please — come visit us soon. Without you, we couldn’t fill our camp with campers and these pages with magic. DID YOU KNOW? Happy camping, We’re the first camp in the Midwest to become a full member of the SeriousFun Children’s Network, the world’s largest family of camps for children with serious illnesses. Founded in 1988 by Paul Newman, the Network has collectively served more than 440,000 children from five continents and 50 countries. 2 FLYING HORSE FARMS: OUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME MIMI DANE CEO/President Flying Horse Farms 3 ALL ON BOARD! In the not-so-faraway land of Mt. Gilead, Ohio, beyond a farm gate with friendly-looking wood slats, lies a truly magical world set apart from illness and stress. A special thank you to our 2013 Board of Directors, who’ve helped us serve campers with passion and purpose: Gerald Boyle, MD Chuck Fowler Robin Grant, Esq. Gail Hubert Ed Kline John Letterio, MD Bill McDonough Amie Preston Joseph Ross, MD Molly Ruben Joshua Secrest Kathleen Starkoff John Lewis Chair Carole Watkins Vice Chair Rhonda Fraas Past Chair Jenni Belford Secretary and Founder Charles E. Zebula Treasurer David Belford Board Emeritus and Founder We’re excited to welcome our 2014 Board of Directors: Carole Watkins Chair Kathleen Starkoff Vice Chair John Lewis Past Chair Bill McDonough Secretary Charles E. Zebula Treasurer Jenni Belford Founder Gerald Boyle, MD Chuck Fowler Rhonda Fraas Robin Grant, Esq. Veronica Hawkins Ed Kline Nick Lashutka Paul McCaffrey Julie Namy Joseph E. Ross, MD Molly Ruben Joshua Secrest To those who know it, it’s just “camp,” the best place on earth. And when they’re here, kids aren’t sick. They aren’t different. They aren’t patients. They’re just kids. Located on 200 wooded acres of rolling hills in the heart of the Midwest, Flying Horse Farms is a place where, for a weekend or week at a time, illness takes a backseat to being a kid. With 192 bunk beds, four teepees, a fleet of canoes, a highflying ropes course, archery and much more, our ACAaccredited camp offers endless opportunities for adventure and exploration — a place where every moment is focused on creating transformative camp experiences. Here, there’s freedom. There’s comfort and campfires, laughter and sleeping bags and midnight snacks. There are new friends and old songs, first bulls-eyes and fish-kisses. Here is home. David Belford Board Emeritus and Founder DID YOU KNOW? Flying Horse Farms is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. All of our operating costs are underwritten by the generosity of others. We’re funded by gifts from individuals, corporate partners, grants and foundations. 4 5 CAMPERS FIRST. Every decision we make has our campers’ best interests at heart. It’s that simple. ALL CREW. NO PASSENGERS. It’s the most appropriate line in each of our job descriptions: “other duties as assigned.” We all do what it takes to get the job done— no matter how big or how small the task. SEE THE BEST IN EACH OTHER. Every person involved with Flying Horse Farms—staff, volunteers, donors, and campers—hold one core belief above all else: that this place has the power to transform the lives of children with serious illnesses for good. Every day, we work to make that happen for more children. These are the values that guide us. 6 We treat each other how we’d like to be treated. It’s an old rule, but it rings especially true at camp. It empowers us to be better team players, to create a friendly atmosphere, to have fun, and to accomplish big things for our campers. FEARLESS IS FREE. We believe the only way to spread our wings and fly is to take risks—boldly. We are each empowered to make change when we think it’s needed. That means thinking on our feet, being creative, and doing more with less. WELCOME HOME. We are welcoming—to everyone, and at all times. Our campers, staff, volunteers, and donors will always feel a sense of belonging and appreciation here. Some call it being nice. We call it the best customer service on the planet. WITH TRUST COMES RELIEF. We earn the trust of our campers and families by offering compassion, commitment, and the highest quality medical care possible. This creates peace of mind for parents and respite from the worries of daily life for our campers. CELEBRATE EVERY MILESTONE. We help our campers achieve things they never thought possible. And as a camp, we accomplish seemingly insurmountable tasks without flinching. The best part? We take time to celebrate our successes every step of the way. (Usually with a dance, a costume, or maybe even a squirt gun.) GIVING FEELS GOOD. Our camp thrives because of the work of our volunteers. We know there are countless volunteer opportunities available—so we work to make ours unforgettable and life-changing. And we’re not surprised when it results in arm-hair-raising, happy-tear-inducing, deep-from-the-belly laughter and joy. ANYONE CAN GIVE. Everyone is a potential donor. To inspire them to give, we connect them to camp in a way that makes their gifts tangible and rewarding. That means listening to our donors, recognizing them, and communicating with them at every level. A SIMPLE THANK YOU GOES A LONG WAY. We have stacks of thank you notes, and we use them. A lot. For volunteers, donors, supporters, and friends. And we say more than thanks; we share the impact they have on camp and celebrate their role in our extraordinary work. 7 WE WELCOME CHILDREN LIVING WITH THESE SERIOUS ILLNESSES: CAMPERS AND FAMILIES SERVED: Cancer Sickle cell Hemophilia and other blood disorders Heart conditions Arthritis and other rheumatologic conditions Severe asthma and other pulmonary diseases Gastrointestinal disorders Kidney disease Everyone [here] just knows what we’re going through. And the best part is — I don’t think my kids know this is a camp for children with serious illnesses. They just know that here they feel like a normal kid. —Camper parent BY DISEASE STATE: DIAGNOSIS: Hematology Cancer GI BY REGION: Heart PA % served by area OH Kidney 7.59% Pulmonary Rheumatology 41.63 % 5.15 % 31.33% 11.44 % 1.72% Sickle cell Number of campers from other states IL: 2 MI: 2 IN: 1 VA: 1 Sibling CT: 1 *Campers served: includes one sweater camp, six summer residential camps and one alumni/final campfire. **Families members served: includes those who attended our six family camp sessions but do not have a diagnosis in one of the disease states we serve.

Because of these caregivers, campers and their families truly can leave their worries beyond the gate. We’re honored to have partnerships with eight Ohio children’s hospitals and the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. These partners connect us to kids in need of camp and dedicate their time to creating a medically sound environment.

The staff, the volunteers, the physicians and nurses, and all the counselors who make an impact on the campers have reaffirmed my faith in the human condition. There is a deep-seated desire to do great things for these children. —Dr. Joseph Ross Medical Director of Pediatric Cardiology, Dayton Children’s Medical Center, and Flying Horse Farms board member 11 63 TUTU-CLAD NURSES delivered medication to campers LET’S CELEBRATE! 365 ofDAYS MILESTONES ENDLESS HOURS STAR GAZING COUNTLESS FRIENDSHIPS FOR LIFE SMILES FOR DAYS THOUSANDS OF MOMENTS OF RESPITE A ZILLION REASONS TO CELEBRATE 12 13 2013 FINANCIALS REVENUE EXPENDITURES: 19% Events $708,766 18% Gifts in kind $654,708 General & administrative $341,234 < 1% Miscellaneous 9% $10,155 11% Foundations 5% Capital contributions $427,730 $175,000 26% Fundraising $951,476 65% Programs $2,376,994 24% Corporations 23% Individuals $883,601 Total expenses*: $3,669,704 Capital expenditures: $475,438 * Includes depreciation of $490,843 THE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER As one of the youngest boys at our 2013 rheumatology-GI camp, camper Wyatt was a little shy and had trouble communicating with his cabinmates and counselors. But Wyatt’s counselors quickly noticed that the normally shy boy lit up when playing with the camp canines. They encouraged him to sign up for the canine program, and he played and walked with the dogs all week. His counselors also noticed he spoke up more when he was around his pup pals. 14 They recommended Wyatt for camp’s Kentucky Derby, where he and a few fellow campers ran their dogs through an obstacle in front of the whole camp. Wyatt and his dog, Max, won the derby in front of an audience full of proud, tearful counselors. And after seeing the transformative effect the dogs had on him, Wyatt’s family later applied for a therapy dog of his own. —Justice, camper 2013 RANGERS SAY GOODBYE...FOR NOW $875,652 Total revenue: $3,735,612 Being at camp reaffirmed my belief in who I am. Flying Horse Farms literally means everything to me, and there is no better place on this planet. Campers become empowered through camp. When they are given opportunities to succeed and learn, they grow as individuals. It gives campers and families hope. —Camp volunteer A touching addition to the 2013 Ranger Program experience, the closing ceremony took place on the rangers’ last full night at camp. Blindfolded, they took part in a trust walk across camp to the Outpost campsite — deepening their connection to each other and the Flying Horse Farms crew. Once they reached the Outpost and their blindfolds were removed, the rangers were honored at a ceremony and assigned a spirit animal to recognize their special, individual traits. Staff bestowed one brave and courageous — yet caring and cuddly — ranger with the grizzly bear as his spirit animal. After a week of diligently serving the campers, working together to scale the wall and conquering their fears on the ropes course, the rangers solidified their bond and found new strength within themselves and in each other. One of the rangers, Eryn, spoke at the ceremony about her unforgettable experience. “People say that fairy tales are about teaching kids lessons, but they’re really about slaying dragons,” she said. “And people say that camp is about illness, but it’s really about teaching you how to slay dragons.” 15 YOU RAISED MORE THAN $700,000 Last year, five Flying Horse Farms events and 34 more, hosted by friends like you, focused on one important goal: sending children with serious illnesses to camp (and having plenty of worthwhile fun along the way). The results were inspiring — $700,000 that went to creating lifelong memories for campers. CAMPFIRE 2013 On April 19, Flying Horse Farms gathered with 350 friends at Severance Hall in Cleveland for Campfire 2013. The event was emceed by Kris Pickel of WKYC, and included a tribute to Paul Newman, a special guest appearance by Clea Newman, Paul Newman’s daughter, and performances by Broadway star NaTasha Yvette Williams, the Near West Theatre and our campers. COLUMBUS FLYATHLON One hundred and fifteen participants ages 7–15 and 113 volunteers came out to Glacier Ridge Metro Park near Columbus, Ohio, for a fun day of running and biking on June 2. Thanks to their efforts, more people now know about our mission, and how they can help. The bar, the roof, our spirits: you raised a lot in 2013. And we couldn’t be more grateful for your incredible support and passion. CLEVELAND FLYATHLON Flying Horse Farms invited Cleveland-area kids ages 7–17 to lace up their sneakers and hop on their bikes to raise support and awareness for our campers on September 29. Sixty participants and 80 volunteers made this inaugural event a high-flying success. BENEATH THE STARS The Magic Makers hosted their third annual — and most successful — Beneath the Stars event yet on November 8, drawing a crowd of 450 supporters for live music, food and drink, dancing, camper stories and a special appearance by Clea Newman. Magic Makers Aimee White, Helena Anderson, Linda Tulley and Jenny Entler provided essential leadership for the event. SUPERHERO CAMP CHALLENGE On October 20, the Superhero Camp Challenge brought 70 participants ages 7-15 and 110 volunteers to camp for obstacle course runs — with no time clock, and no first or last place. Every participant received a cape, mask and wrist cuffs at the caping ceremony, and the satisfaction of knowing they helped bring the power of camp to more kids. “The best experience from this camp session was seeing Luke, who uses a wheelchair, be able to zip-line and complete the high ropes course. It absolutely embodied the magical spirit of camp and the endless possibilities for growth that make the kids want to come back every year! THE POWER OF CAMP IS SPREADING. Thank you to the sponsoring organizations for these amazing 2013 honors and accolades. —Camp volunteer HEALTH CARE HERO AWARD LEARNING THE ROPES After a summer of teaching her campers to conquer their fears, camp counselor and Alcoa Fellow, Sarah Kersey, heard the question she was dreading. Her stomach sank to her feet when a camper asked her about her own experience on the ropes course. “Flying Horse Farms gave me such strength to overcome my fears,” Sarah said. “I watched as our first set of campers went on the ropes course this summer, and I was yelling up to them, “You can do this. I see strength. I see courage. I see you conquering your fears. Little did anyone else know, I didn’t want anything to do with that ropes course.” (Business First) BEST PLACES TO WORK (Business First) EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE YEAR – MIMI DANE (Medical Mutual and Smart Business) NON-PROFIT BOARD DIRECTOR OF THE YEAR – JOHN LEWIS (Medical Mutual and Smart Business) PROGRAM EXCELLENCE AWARD (American Camp Association) Sarah knew she had to act. After all, how could she help campers overcome their fears when she hadn’t faced her own? After finding out that Mimi Dane, CEO of Flying Horse Farms, also faced a similar fear of the ropes, the two conquered the course together. TOP 13 BEST BENEFITS IN 2013 – CAMPFIRE (Currents – selected out of 275 benefits in Cleveland) “The only reason that I was able to do that was because those campers showed me what it looked like to trample fear head on,” Sarah said. 16 17 MAKING OUR WISH STICKS COME TRUE Thanks to our annual donors, we’re able to host hundreds of campers each year— at no cost to their families. Flying Horse Farms is grateful for every contribution, large and small.

SERVICE PROJECT GROUPS INTERNS AND OFFICE SUPPORT SITES AND FACILITIES VOLUNTEERS ALL-AROUND AWESOME AMBASSADORS “I’m motivated by my love of camp, and a desire to provide great camp experiences for children who so clearly deserve it.” - Camp volunteer 26 27 Since 2011, we’ve partnered with Alcoa Foundation to bring college students to camp through Alcoa Good & Green Fellowships. Alcoa Fellows work as counselors and camp leaders, while helping to establish environmental and sustainability-focused learning opportunities. These projects are not only beneficial to camp, but for campers, who get a unique opportunity to interact with nature in new ways and learn about protecting and nurturing the environment. Just a few projects Good & Green Fellows rocked out in 2013: GETTING WILD FOR GOOD • T he Eat Well Plate – like the food pyramid, but focused on sustainability and nutrition •D ietary Needs Board – making sure campers individual dietary needs are met • The Patch – worked on weeding, planting and harvesting the garden and created learning materials •G ranny B Farms – toured and tended crops at this Centerburg, Ohio farm that provides camp with organic herbs, fruits and vegetables •C ompost bins – reconstructed the compost bin system at camp and educated campers about composting • S ensory Garden – created a stone path and seating for the garden, so campers have a beautiful, peaceful escape that heightens all of their senses And Alcoa Fellows have a lot more in store for the future, including building hydroponic gardens and mapping a nature walk for campers. In fact, the fellows program has been such a success that it’s expanding to six additional camps in the SeriousFun Children’s Network in 2014. · BATOR TABOR, HUNGARY · CAMP KOREY, WASHINGTON · DOUBLE H RANCH, NEW YORK · OVER THE WALL, GREAT BRITAIN · THE HOLE IN THE WALL GANG CAMP, CONNECTICUT · THE PAINTED TURTLE, CALIFORNIA The Alcoa Green & Good Fellowship program is growing more than just our gardens. This was the first time we witnessed our daughter let her hair down and be a kid. The cloud of depression, sadness and loneliness gave way to excitement; she had a new outlook on the world. She found a culture of hope that fed her soul. —Camper parent A HORSE OF A DIFFERENT COLOR Seeing Color Olympics through the eyes of one of our dedicated volunteers Some of my favorite camp moments are when the whole camp: kids, volunteers, staff, our medical team — everyone — is immersed in the magic and spirit of Flying Horse Farms. I noticed this amazing energy for the first time during the all-camp activity, Color Olympics, which took place as part of our very first residential camp for kids with heart conditions. It was a hot day, and the local fire department let us borrow a hose for the event. During Color Olympics, campers visit various stations with their cabins and get really, really messy with paint, slime and shaving cream — you name it, they’ll probably end up wearing it. By the end of the hour, the entire camp was covered head-to-toe, with only white smiles shining through. So, our doctor for the week, Dr. Boyle, led the whole camp running through the fire hose. That’s when one of our campers, completely drenched at this point, looked up at me and yelled, “I love camp!” It was an incredible day. There wasn’t a frown on the farm. 28 29 2013 CREW OFFICE OF THE CEO AND PRESIDENT Mimi Dane, Esq., CEO/President Marty Mishler, Executive Assistant ADVANCEMENT Lucy Godman, VP of Advancement Jenny Bergman, Annual Fund Manager Stella Law, Data Management Officer Liz Lewis, Director of Donor Relations – Northeast Ohio Stephanie Mohr, Director of Leadership Giving Lisa Panos, Director of Donor Relations Britni Rosemeyer, Events Specialist Cathy Sarrocco, Data Coordinator Don Wiggins, Director of Community Relations and In-Kind Gifts CAMP PROGRAMS Ryan Brownfield, Camp Director Dani Grosh, Volunteer Recruiter Jackie Messinger, Director of Recruitment and Education Olivia Miller, Admissions Coordinator Christine Stewart, Program Director THANK YOU.
