Celebrating Rhino Day : my last oil painting "Dust Rage" was a "rage" reaction to poachers : the horn is the main subject of the painting and the Rhino seems to say " come and get some ... if you dare !"⠀ ⠀ En ce Jour international du Rhino : mon dernier tableau est une sorte de pied de nez aux braconniers : la corne est le sujet principal du tableau, et le Rhino semble dire "Viens me le prendre ... si tu l'oses !"⠀ ⠀ #rhinoday #wildlifeart #rhino #poaching #savetherhinos #rhinoceros #peinture #alsac #peintureanimaliere #hyperrealisme http://ift.tt/2wEQb3L

St. Jude Hoards Billions While Many of Its Families Drain Their Savings

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital promises not to bill families. But the cost of having a child at the hospital for cancer care leaves s

Some highlights:

Last year, St. Jude raised a record $2 billion

ranked the country’s 10th-best children’s cancer hospital, and St. Jude raised roughly as much as the nine hospitals ahead of it put together

It currently has $5.2 billion in reserves... enough to run the institution at current levels for the next four and a half years without a single additional donation.

Only about half of the $7.3 billion St. Jude has received in contributions in the past five fiscal years went to the hospital’s research and caring for patients, according to its financial filings with the Internal Revenue Service.

About 30% covered the cost of its fundraising operations

the remaining 20%, or $1 of every $5 donated, increased its reserve fund.

St. Jude spends about $500 million a year on patient services — a figure that includes all medical care and other assistance.

Very little of what St. Jude raises from the public goes to pay for food, travel and housing for families, the investigation found. Last year, it was 2% of the money raised, or nearly $40 million.

Dozens of other children’s hospitals across the country have research divisions devoted to pediatric cancer and enroll their patients in clinical trials for new drugs and procedures. They pay for research staff and studies in part with donations from their local communities, often competing directly against St. Jude. ALSAC has regional offices in several U.S. cities with elite pediatric cancer centers of their own, including Atlanta, Chicago, Denver and Seattle.

Coury Shadyac, an ALSAC vice president and daughter of the organization’s CEO, Richard Shadyac Jr., oversees a team of 45 fundraisers along the West Coast “raising $300 million annually” for St. Jude, according to her LinkedIn profile. That’s $100 million more in donations than either Children’s Hospital Los Angeles or Seattle Children’s Hospital, two of the nation’s leading pediatric cancer institutions, received in fiscal year 2019, IRS disclosures show. But it’s only a small part of St. Jude’s fundraising haul.

To sum up, 30% of donations raised went to fundraising, 20% went to reserves, and 2% went to help families with costs associated with treatment.

Also the vice president who oversees west coast donations is the daughter of the CEO.

Retour sur le tableau " You're Next !" ⠀ L'idée de ce tableau m'est venu en Afrique du Sud. Un matin nous avons observé 7 lions se partageant une carcasse de buffle. J'ai eu alors la vision du lion me regardant fixement à travers la corne du Buffle, l'air de dire : " Bouge pas, le prochain c'est toi !" ⠀ Reproduction disponible : https://buff.ly/2CiBbbh⠀ Ce tableau a été repris sur un couteau de l' Atelier 1515 Coutellerie d'art dans un coffret collector en édition limitéé accompagné d'un tirage d'Art numéroté⠀ ⠀ # lion #buffle #peinture #safari #tableau #afrique #buffle #alsac (à Aquitaine, France)
