2012 YEARBOOK
Togetherness Heals
Note from CEO and Chairman
A note from
Doug Porter, CEO,
and Paul Huebener,
Chairman, Board
of Directors
Dear committed friends, supporters, donors, and volunteers,
On behalf of RMHC®-CNI’s board of directors and staff, we are pleased to share highlights from a
stellar year at the charity.
In 2012, we were proud to expand our ability to serve families in three locations:
• The Ronald McDonald House near Lurie Children’s opened on June 26, 2012, with 66 bedrooms
to serve the families of hospitalized children receiving care at the Ann & Robert H. Lurie
Children’s Hospital.
• Nine sleep rooms opened inside the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital in June 2012,
allowing us to serve the families of the most critical patients.
• The Ronald McDonald Family Room — the first in Illinois — opened in February 2012 inside
Edward Hospital in Naperville, Ill. The Family Room features two bedrooms and common areas
for families to relax and regroup in the hospital environment.
While RMHC-CNI made extraordinary strides toward growth and expansion, we also remained
steadfast and focused on continuing to serve families in our other three Ronald McDonald Houses
near University of Chicago Comer Children’s Hospital, Advocate Children’s Hospital and Loyola
University Medical Center.
Our Scholarship Program and Care Mobile programs also continued to thrive, offering assistance to
young people desperate for solutions to achieving a higher education or receiving medical care and
referrals for specialized care.
RMHC-CNI’s achievements and its ability to serve families and children would not be possible without
the commitment and generosity of many and for that, we are forever grateful.
We look forward to continuing our work to serve those in our communities in 2013 and for years to
come. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
1

RMHC-CNI’s mission and focus is to serve and
improve the lives of:
• The families of hospitalized children
• Children who have little to no access to
medical care
• Students who would be unable to
attend college without financial
assistance
RMHC-CNI serves these groups through three
distinct and unique means of delivery: Housing
for families at four Ronald McDonald Houses,
a Ronald McDonald Family Room, Sleep
Rooms in two hospitals; a Ronald McDonald
Care Mobile that provides medical care and
specialist referrals for medically underserved
children, and a Scholarship Program that
provides multiyear financial college aid for
community-minded, academically outstanding
and financially disadvantaged young people.

Ronald McDonald Houses
Ronald McDonald Family Room
Ronald McDonald Care Mobile
Ronald McDonald Houses are designed to
provide care, comfort and hospitality to the
families of hospitalized children receiving
care at local area hospitals. Many families
stay for extended periods of time, finding
a real “home away from home” during
incredibly stressful times. Our Houses allow
families to focus on the care and hopeful
recovery of their children while their basic
needs are met for little to no cost.
RMHC-CNI’s Ronald McDonald Houses are
located near Lurie Children’s, University of
Chicago Comer Children’s Hospital, Loyola
University Medical Center, and Advocate
Children’s Hospital.
Opened in 2012, the Ronald McDonald Family
Room located inside Edward Hospital in
Naperville, Ill. provides a place for families to
rest and regroup just steps from the
Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. The Family Room
features a playroom, kitchenette and multiple
sitting areas. Two private sleep rooms are
also available for families requiring an
overnight stay.
In cooperation with Advocate Hope
Children’s Hospital, the Care Mobile
travels to underserved communities
throughout Chicagoland to provide
physicals, immunizations and specialist
referrals to children who have no access to
medical services.

RMHC-CNI’s Scholarship Program provides
financial assistance to local young students
who have little to no access to higher
education. The Program is a multiyear
renewable program that invests in the
leaders of tomorrow. Financial assistance is
provided to community-minded, academically
outstanding and well-rounded young people.

In 2012, RMHC-CNI remained

we serve every day. As a charity, we
are proud of the impact we have had
and continue to have on the lives of
those who are desperate and in need
every day of the year.
Through our three core programs
RMHC-CNI served thousands of
families and children in 2012, saving
them millions of dollars in housing,
medical and college expenses. Those
we serve continue to express their
gratitude for the care and assistance
they have received through our
programs and services.

Responding to Community Needs
Responding to the Needs in Our Community
The priorities of RMHC-CNI’s board of directors and staff leadership are to maintain and support our current programs and
services, strictly adhere to sound financial principles and to build on our vision for the future.
We also stay abreast of the pressing needs of the children and families in our communities, many of whom are in need of
our services. Specifically, the families of hospitalized children require housing accommodations while their child receives
medical treatment at area hospitals. Unfortunately, the need for our services continues to grow every year and we are often
approached by hospitals to expand our services to serve their clients.
After careful consideration, a feasibility study, board study, oversight and approval, RMHC-CNI will decide whether building a
Ronald McDonald House, a Ronald McDonald Family Room or sleep rooms near or inside an area hospital is appropriate.
In 2012, we opened both the Ronald McDonald Family Room inside Edward Hospital and the Ronald McDonald House near
Lurie Children’s. Both projects have proven to be critical additions to the medical landscape in Chicagoland. The Ronald
McDonald House near Lurie Children’s and The Ronald McDonald Family in Edward Hospital are both near full capacity each
night of the year.
In 2014, RMHC-CNI will break ground on its fifth Ronald McDonald House to serve the families of hospitalized children
receiving care at Cadence Health and Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield, Ill. Special care will be given to the families whose
children will be receiving a six-week course of treatment at the CDH Proton Center. The Proton Center is Illinois’ first and only
proton therapy center, a revolutionary and more precise treatment option for children battling certain cancers.
Our focus and efforts as a charity are to provide care and comfort to the families and children in our communities. From
our Scholarship Program to our Ronald McDonald Houses, we are proud to be a part of the lives of thousands of wonderful
people each year.

Caring for Families and Children
The Ennis Family’s Stay at the Ronald McDonald House near Loyola
The Ronald McDonald House near Loyola
entered the Ennis family’s life in late
2012 after the birth of the couple’s
premature twins.
Prior to their births, Stephanie Ennis
had been in and out of the hospital
with premature labor and Braxton Hicks
contractions. Not only was Stephanie
experiencing periodic contractions, but
she also suffered from preeclampsia.
In late November, months before her
due date, Stephanie’s doctor admitted
her to Elmhurst Hospital. She was then
transferred to Loyola University Medical
Center in anticipation of the babies’
need for a Level III Neonatal Intensive
Care Unit. While at Loyola, Stephanie
received steroid shots and magnesium
supplements to control the premature
labor and preeclampsia.

Stephanie and Mark Ennis
On December 12, 2012, at 28 weeks
gestation, Eleanor and Fiona were
delivered by c-section at 1 pound,
7 ounces and 2 pounds, 3 ounces
respectively. When the couple realized that
their babies would be spending months
in the NICU, a social worker asked them if
they would be interested in staying at the
Ronald McDonald House for the duration
of their babies’ stay.
“I had always seen the collection boxes at
McDonald’s, but I never knew what the
Ronald McDonald House was,” Stephanie
said. “I thought it was for people in
financial need,” Stephanie said. Although
Stephanie was reluctant, her husband
Mark toured the House and told Stephanie
that he thought she was really going to
like it. “Walking into the House is like
getting a hug,” Mark said.
Eleanor Ennis
Although Mark was impressed with the
House, the couple decided to return home
to Rolling Meadows after Stephanie was
discharged from the hospital. As they
pulled away from the hospital to drive
home, Stephanie questioned her ability to
leave her babies every day. After spending
one night at home, the couple decided
to request a room at the House. They
checked in on December 12 and spent
several months as guests there.
Mark and Stephanie appreciated that
they didn’t have to worry about anything
other than healing and taking care of their
babies. “I don’t feel like a charity case
here,” Stephanie said. “Being here has
nothing to do with your education, race or
gender. I feel like this is my home,”
she said.
Stephanie was also grateful for the people
and parents she met during her stay.
“We understand each other’s trials and
tribulations,” Stephanie said. “Everyone
here is facing the same challenges and
sickness has brought us together,”
she said.
The family checked out of the House
on February 28 after 71 days, when the
twins were discharged from the hospital.
Eleanor and Fiona are now happy and
healthy little girls with a bright future and
loving parents.
Stephanie, who is a school teacher, is
committed to bringing her students
back to the House to volunteer and her
daughters when they are older.
Stephanie felt that staying at the House
made it possible for her to be calm
and there for her twins. “Without the
Ronald McDonald House I don’t know
that I would be the mother that I am,”
Stephanie said.

Donor Perspective
Ryan Baker
CBS-2 Chicago’s Lead Sports Anchor
Ryan Baker first became acquainted with RMHC-CNI
in 2011 when he was a last minute fill in emcee for
the McDonald’s All American Awards Banquet. As a
sports anchor, he was familiar with the McDonald’s
All American Games and the McDonald’s brand, but
was not fully aware of RMHC-CNI’s mission. During
the event, which was benefitting RMHC-CNI, Ryan
became more familiar with the charity’s work and
asked for ways to get involved.
“I was looking to become involved with a charity and
RMHC-CNI has a great brand and reputation,” Ryan
said. “I have been extremely blessed in my life and
I believe that to those who much is given much is
expected,” Ryan said.
In 2012, Ryan emceed the All American Awards
Banquet again and became an RMHC-CNI board
member. He is also a member of RMHC-CNI’s
Education Committee, the committee responsible for
selecting scholarship winners each year.
“RMHC-CNI and the Ronald McDonald Houses
truly improve the lives of countless individuals who
otherwise wouldn’t have the means to stay close
to their hospitalized child,” Ryan said. “The Houses
provide relief to make things better for families and
children who are enduring unimaginable things,”
he said.

Education Committee. John has served on
RMHC-CNI’s Capital Campaign Steering Committee
since 2008.
In 2002, John and Carmen became owner operators
in Wisconsin and continued their involvement with
“We are parents that understand the challenges
associated with a child with special needs,” John
said. “Because of our daughter Mia, we give back,”
John said.
The DeCarriers have personally donated to the
charity and have also committed $1 million in funds
through “Rock the House,” a fundraising event they
launched in 2010.
When asked why others should support RMHC-CNI,
Carmen said: “When you give to this charity, you will
be able to see the impact of your dollars right away.”
Marsha Serlin
CEO, United Scrap Metal Buyers and Recyclers
United Scrap Metal first became involved with
RMHC-CNI in 2005 when the Ronald McDonald
House near Loyola contacted them for pop
tab recycling. The leadership at United Scrap
immediately started thinking about ways the
company could further assist RMHC-CNI. That
year the company decided to expand their pop tab
recycling to all four Houses and began picking up
the pop tabs for additional revenue.

“Recycle With Ronald”, which encourages all of
their customers to recycle on a specified day, with
a percentage being donated to RMHC-CNI. Since
its inception, the event has raised over $500,000 to
benefit the charity. “It’s a great event that combines
recycling, education, sustainability and teamwork to
raise funds for RMHC-CNI,” Marsha said.

that the Houses are a great gift to the Chicago area.
“When you give money to the charity you can see
the direct impact of your donation,” Marsha said.
“In this charity, everything works to help provide a
home away for families in need,” she said.
