individual futures.
Center
Challenges
The challenge facing the
Robert Crown Center for
Health Education is not only
to make effective use of its
fundamental resources—
health information,
technology, capital, and

expectations.

learning and expanding the
re a c h o f o u r h e a l t h y m e s s a g e s .
Ho m a n Sq u a re o p e n s
The biggest step toward advancing learning began in Jan.
2002 as we opened our first ever satellite facility in Chicago.
This high-tech facility continues to gain momentum with inner
city audiences and has already expanded to offer additional
programs and services. Homan Square has expanded from 6
to 10 programs and has also added preschool programs and
outreach services. The Robert J. Day classroom at Homan
Square is a fine example of how the latest in technology can
enhance the delivery of our messages.
O u t re a c h e x p a n d s
Another significant step occurred in the expansion of Suburban
Outreach services. A new push in the marketing of Robert
Crown’s suburban outreach programs has resulted in the
service of thousands of additional students. Our outreach
program has geared up for expansion with many additional
panels, models, slides and exhibits - all replicating those used
at Robert Crown. Demand for outreach programs continues to
climb and Robert Crown is positioning itself to meet that need.
Pr o g r a m s v a l i d a t e d
A critical step in advancing goals for all learning came during
2002 when University of Oklahoma researchers gave high
marks to our 5th grade sex education program. Other studies
by Penn State University continue to validate the effectiveness
of our programming. As we plan and improve programs for
the future, this key research acts as a guide toward messages
that will have the greatest impact and highest rate of retention
by students.
The Center continues to combine with other organizations to
enhance learning on many different levels. Collaboration with
Hinsdale Hospital made our 7th annual Body Trek camp a
meaningful and highly interactive opportunity for students.
Cooperation with other social service agencies at Homan
Square broadens the effectiveness of our messages there.
At the forefront in making all of these achievements possible
is our strong and supportive donor base. Donors showed
their commitment to Robert Crown’s mission through the
Annual Appeal, the Golf Invitational, and the American Girls
Fashion Show. It is only through their renewed support that
Robert Crown can continue to enhance programs and carry
healthy messages to an ever-widening group of students.
Fu t u re c h a l l e n g e s
Fiscal year 2002 showed unprecedented challenges to health
education and its funding. The need for quality programs has
never been greater and yet we face the reality of these tough
economic times. We face a triple economic threat with
shrinking donor budgets, state budgets and school budgets.
Yet, we remain committed to advancing learning in new and
innovative ways, and to reaching out to underserved audiences.
We are bolstered in our mission by the unwavering commitment
of our supporters and know that together we can not fail. The
future of health education can only look bright when there
are so many dedicated to its cause.

Financial Conditions
Fi n a n c i a l St a t e m e n t Pre s e n t a t i o n
The Center has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 117, “Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit
Organizations”. Under SFAS No. 117, the Center is required to
report information regarding its financial position and activities
according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets
(consisting of undesignated and temporarily designated
amounts), temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently
restricted net assets. In addition, the Center is required to present
a statement of cash flows. As permitted by this new statement, the
Center has discontinued its use of fund accounting and has,
accordingly, reclassified its financial statements to present the
three classes of net assets required.
Contributions
The Center has also adopted SFAS No. 116, “Accounting for
Contributions Received and Contributions Made”. In accordance
with SFAS No. 116, contributions received are recorded as
unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted
support depending on the existence and/or nature of any donor
restrictions. The ratio of allocated costs to amount raised was
20.3% in fiscal year 2002.
In v e s t m e n t s
In accordance with SFAS No. 124, “Accounting for Certain
Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations”, investments
in equity securities with readily determinable fair values, and
all debt securities are reported at market value.
