THE SECOND MILE ANNUAL REPORT 2010

Page 2: The Second Mile Annual Report 2010

Board Chairman Bob Poole and President/CEO Dr. Jack Raykovitz

A Year Like No Other

In this column last year, we wrote that “we anticipate that 2010 will continue to be challenging” and, indeed, it was – challenging like never before in our history. As in 2009, The Second Mile received more requests to help children and teens than ever. Unfortunately, unlike the previous year, in serving the children who needed us, we spent significantly more than we raised in 2010: we had a $228,000 loss in our net cash flow for operations. Thanks to you, our donors, spending more than we raise has been a rare occurrence in the history of The Second Mile, but last year, overall giving to all charities was down 11%. So we are very thankful that our Board has managed The Second Mile prudently, creating a “rainy day” fund for years such as this past one. The Second Mile was able to use that fund to provide the needed services.

Of course, we want to continue serving those children who have come to count on us, but we cannot continue to operate a deficit budget. The arithmetic is clear: $228,000 = our entire Leadership Institute or all 6 of our Friend Programs or 4 Challenge Program camp weeks.

In order to keep our commitments to those children who are now part of The Second Mile family, we need your help to make sure that this past year’s financials are an aberration in our history of supporting the children who need us. The children we serve have often experienced many broken promises in their young lives; that’s why our mantra has always been, “No broken promises, ever.” We need to continue to be the family they can count on!

You generously reached into your pockets and your purses last year and continue to do so, and that is certainly what makes it possible for so many children to count on us. But we know that you, too, want to make sure we return to a funding level this year that enables us to serve every child who is part of our family. Can you introduce the needs of Second Mile children to friends and family? Is there a business colleague who might be interested in sponsoring a Second Mile event or a corporation that might be willing to sponsor a camp week if you asked? This year, more than any other, we are asking for your help in connecting us to others, like you, who care

about children who need someone to “go the second mile” for them. Let us know if you need additional information from us or The Second Mile staff in order to do that.

Together, we can keep our promises.

You Help Change Children’s Lives…

A “THANK YOU” FOR YOUR IMPACT FROM TWO SECOND MILE LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE PARTICIPANTS

“During high school, I participated in The Second

Mile Leadership Institute. Through the program,

I learned leadership skills and ways I can give

back to my school and community. The program

gave me confidence to run for my high school’s

student council, where I was elected Vice

President during my senior year, and I was also

selected to as Salutatorian at my graduation

ceremony. Now, as a freshman at Penn State University, I am

looking forward to expanding my leadership skills and meeting

new people. I would not have had the skills or confidence to do

any of this without The Second Mile. Thank you for all that you

have done for me.” -Poi Veng Suon

“Staff who work with students in the Migrant

Education Program nominated me for a

wonderful opportunity – to participate in

The Second Mile’s Leadership Institute. The

Second Mile motivated me to learn how to be

courageous, confident, and resilient, and taught

me the importance of staying positive in order

to be a great leader. The Institute also helped

improve my social skills as my team initiated a project in our

schools, a Celebration of Diversity. I also decided to serve others

in ways beyond our team project: the program motivated me to

spend time doing community service by becoming a companion

to the elderly and disabled and by picking up trash to beautify

our neighborhood. The Second Mile taught me that I can have an

impact on our society, the environment and my community. As

a freshman at Penn State University Park, I want to continue to

give back by volunteering to educate and encourage my peers to

accomplish their goals. I know that without the support of The

Second Mile, I would not have gotten this far.” -Theara Lanh

The Arthur C. and Evelyn M. Sandusky Society recognizes those individuals who have made an estate provision for, or a planned or deferred gift commitment to, The Second Mile. These gift commitments could include a bequest in a will or living trust, the designation of The Second Mile as

the beneficiary of a retirement plan, a charitable remainder trust, the gift of a life insurance policy naming The Second Mile as beneficiary, and/or the execution of an estate note. We wish to thank the members of this society for providing a foundation for the future of our organization.

“We are very proud to

support The Second

Mile in their endeavors

to make life better for

today’s youth. The

opportunity to change

lives and better prepare

our youth for life is very

exciting, and the programs that The Second Mile offers

truly have a big impact on young people when they need

help most.

One of the ways that The Second Mile’s impact can

continue to grow is if you plan to make a gift to the Arthur

C. and Evelyn M. Sandusky Society and challenge others

in the community to join us. We look forward to the year

ahead and welcome you to be a part of this wonderful

organization, making it a part of your estate planning.”

Prevention ProgramsNittany Lion Tips• Nittany Lion Tips are sports trading cards featuring short educational or

motivational messages from Penn State athletes. These are timely and diverse messages that pertain to issues of normal development. Each set consists of 25 unique Tips from student-athletes on the football, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s gymnastics, and wrestling teams. Nittany Lion Tips have been distributed by more than 1,755 school counselors and other youth-service professionals to students in elementary and middle school. Counselors reported that, on average, they used the program with 115 students. Each of the two annual additions are accompanied with a facilitators guide, which offers further concepts and activities that expand on the ideas found on the cards.

Second Mile Leadership Institute• The Second Mile Leadership Institute teaches, encourages, and empowers students

from across Pennsylvania to make a difference in their school communities. Each spring, teams of high school sophomores, along with faculty mentors, attend a four-day conference featuring workshops and guest speakers that focus on topics ranging from fundraising and publicity to group function and communication styles. After the Institute, students return home to carry out a service project that they planned during the conference. In 2010, 322 participants representing 62 high schools attended the Institute and are now working on a broad range of projects that will improve their communities.

“Thank you for providing this wonderful resource. I used them as a reward during

Red Ribbon week this year.”

—School Counselor from Lackawanna County

“I want to thank you for the Tips program. We find it very

helpful, and the children love the sports cards.”

—School Counselor from Erie County

Nittany Lion Tips’ athletes share important messages with youth on the card backs.

“This has been such a valuable experience for our students

and even for me as a teacher. The students were able to

grow an amazing amount in only four days. The staff made it

so productive and used the time so efficiently.

They were creative and dynamic with the kids,

good role models, flexible when they needed

to be, and always seemed to know the right

thing to say to get through to the kids. We

cannot wait to implement our project and

apply what we all have learned.”

—Faculty Mentor from Delaware County

The Angel SocietyThe Second Mile thanks the members of the Angel Society—those individuals, organizations,

foundations, and corporations that made an annual gift equal to or greater than $2,000 during

fiscal year 9/1/2009 through 8/31/2010. We also recognize here all donors who made an annual

gift of more than $500, providing an Angel Scholarship through their annual support. You all are

truly “the wind beneath the wings” of Second Mile children. Thank you for helping them soar.

PEAK• Prevention: Education and Awareness for Kids (PEAK) is a series of videotapes

and a play kit that highlight issues such as peer pressure, rejection, and self-esteem. There are currently three modules available to educators, with more than 2,075 school counselors currently using them. All modules are accompanied with facilitators’ guides that provide additional opportunities to further apply the information from the modules.

Early Intervention ProgramsChallenge• This year, The Second Mile helped 782 young people develop the skills they need

to succeed through its Challenge Program. During their week-long session of residence, Challenge Program participants set behavior and academic goals and decide on community service projects for the upcoming school year. Through encouragement and a positive environment, collegiate counselors, professional staff, and volunteers guide the children to work on self-awareness and skills in conflict resolution and effective communication, as well as goal setting.

“We used this kit during anti-bullying

week. The kids really took a lot from

it, and we had some interesting

class discussions. I feel like several

of the kids made a breakthrough

by connecting their actions to the

characters in the play.”

—Teacher from Allegheny County

“The kids enjoyed acting out the play

and rotating who got to be each

character. Thank you so much for

providing this program to schools

at no cost.”

• During the following year, participants use these new skills to earn their way back to the Challenge Program by meeting their goals. The Second Mile offers year-round support to participants, their families, and their counselors through written, phone, or in-person contact to assist in the child’s efforts to achieve his or her goals. During the 2009-2010 school year, The Second Mile staff made 9,308 contacts to participants and 6,924 contacts to school counselors to help them stay connected to the program and focused on their goals. We also held 32 mid-year events, attended by 1,295 participants and their families.

• In 2010, 536 past participants who had earned their way back to residential weeks received achievement certificates and 172 children were given special recognition for their community service.

Friend Fitness• Through mentoring and individual strength training exercises, The Friend

Fitness Program helps adolescents achieve personal, academic, and fitness goals. In 2010 the Friend Fitness Program provided opportunities for improvement to 119 teens at sites located in Centre and Chester Counties. During bi-weekly sessions, 73 adult mentors assisted students in working on their goals while providing positive encouragement. This Program also includes social and team-building activities such as picnics, group workouts, and luncheons for students and mentors.

“The Second Mile has changed my life. I don’t pre-judge

others anymore. I can make friends easily and, most

importantly, have fun.”

—Participant from Berks County

“I am switching jobs, but I will continue to refer kids

to the Challenge Program because it is so valuable

to the kids who are in it.

It’s a great program!”

—Youth Service Professional from Juniata County

“My favorite thing about the Friend Fitness program is the fun

and friendly environment. My mentor really helps me stay

motivated and has given me great advice over the years.”

Friend• The Friend Program is a mentorship program that joins together a collegiate volunteer

with an elementary student in need of extra support to participate in healthy, educational activities. The Friend Program is currently available at six sites: Blair County, Centre Region, Clinton County, Lancaster County, Lehigh Valley, and the Southeast Region. Over the past year, 626 Young Friends, 155 adult volunteers, and 355 student volunteers participated in 55 events, including picnics, holiday parties, swimming, and bowling. Counselors who refer kids to the program have cited improved social skills, goal-directed behavior, and attention to academics as some of the benefits of this program.

Community-Based ProgramsChildren’s Fund-Grants, Recognition, and Scholarships• The Children’s Fund offers support by providing scholarships, grants, and community

service awards to youth across the Commonwealth. Children’s Fund Grants seek to offer assistance that other agencies or government programs may not provide. Grants are given for needs like school supplies and extra curricular activity registration fees. Eighty-three (83) young people were awarded grants this past year, while hundreds of additional children received non-monetary grants, such as clothing, through in-kind donations. In addition, former Second Mile participants have the opportunity to receive Post-Secondary Scholarships to assist with school-related expenses. Last year, The Second Mile awarded 52 such scholarships. Finally, through Community Service Awards, The Second Mile recognizes high school seniors for their exemplary commitment to community service. Last year, 12 seniors were awarded a certificate and savings bond for their service of others.

serving as a camp ‘Leader.’ The Second Mile

prepared me with the skills and confidence to

get me where I am today – attending community

college and volunteering at our local Humane

Society. The Second Mile taught me goal

setting, teamwork, and leadership skills and

gave me self-confidence. I know my education

is essential, and without generous people like

you, community college wouldn’t be possible. I

sincerely thank you for this opportunity so that

I can make a difference in the lives of others –

and animals – on a grander scale in the future.”

Foster Family Support• In partnership with Pennsylvania Children and Youth

Agencies, The Second Mile’s Foster Family Program works to recruit and retain foster parents. Through the use of tools aimed at attracting foster parents, recognizing outstanding foster parents, and offering recreational activities for foster families, more than 4,000 foster family members benefited from this program in 2010. These family members represented 33 counties and took part in 69 recreation events, all at no cost to them. Among these events were multi-county activities held at sites including Hersheypark, Allenberry Playhouse, Knoebels, and Lakemont Park.

Counseling and Referral• The Second Mile offers counseling services and provides referrals to outside

professionals and agencies in cases where needs fall outside of the scope of existing Second Mile programs. In 2010, the Second Mile was able to refer 124 young people to appropriate sources of support. Additionally 82 young people received 395 counseling sessions through the State office.

We hope to be invited back again next year!”

“No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it.”

This quote very aptly describes how our work at The Second Mile is accomplished. We are fortunate to have so many friends, donors, and volunteers to help children and families. They give of their time and their treasure. Often times, they give of goods and services.

In-kind donations, such as event tickets, supplies for program activities, and transportation of participants, directly impact the children and families served by The Second Mile. Other donations offset operating costs of programs and special events, allowing a larger percentage of money raised to go to Second Mile programs. Donations this year have included anything from equipment storage space and printing services to special event prizes and meals. In-kind sponsors who contributed to special events were acknowledged previously in conjunction with those events. Here, we would like to highlight additional in-kind donors who contributed goods or services valued at $1,000 or more this past fiscal year. In 2010, The Second Mile received $406,828 through in-kind donations.
