FISCAL YEAR 2010REPORT TO CONTRIBUTORS

Dear Friends:

This past year marked the 15th anniversary of the CDC Foundation. As we refl ect on our many

accomplishments, we recognize the extraordinary contributions of our friends and partners. Together,

we have provided $300 million to support CDC’s work, launched more than 500 programs around the

world and built a network of individuals and organizations committed to supporting CDC and public health.

Our collective successes over the past 15 years are considerable. Milestones include creating an Emergency

Response Fund to provide fl exible dollars to CDC and its partners during a public health crisis; supporting

the establishment of fi eld epidemiology and laboratory training programs in Brazil, Kenya and other countries;

placing hundreds of privately funded fellows across CDC to expand program capacity; and initiating the

Meta-Leadership Summit for Preparedness program, which has trained more than 4,000 leaders from

businesses, government agencies and nonprofi ts to work effectively together during a public health or

safety crisis. The Foundation and its partners also have played a key role in the $375 million Bloomberg

Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use, helping CDC collect data on tobacco use and control measures in more

than a dozen countries to improve policies, interventions and public health messages.

Last fall, we celebrated these achievements with a campaign to highlight our work with CDC around the

world. Through pictures and stories captured by photojournalist David Snyder, we brought into focus CDC

programs that impact people and communities everywhere – from malaria prevention in Kenya to positive

parenting in Kansas to fl our fortifi cation in Brazil.

As we turn our attention to the next decade, we are committed to helping CDC address the world’s

increasingly complex and tenacious public health challenges. Our ongoing strategic positioning effort

promises to sharpen our focus for impact and strengthen our alignment with CDC’s key priorities, while

harnessing our unique capabilities as an independent ally.

We look forward to keeping you apprised of our progress on this new strategic positioning so that,

together, we can help maximize CDC’s reach and impact. We thank you for your dedication to our

mission and your ongoing, generous support.

FISCAL YEAR 2010

The CDC Foundation organized 13 Meta-Leadership Summits

for Preparedness in FY10, bringing the total number of Summits

presented nationwide to 30. The Meta-Leadership Summits are

a unique national initiative, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson

Foundation, to foster greater cross-sector collaboration among

business, government and nonprofi t leaders during a public

health or safety crisis. Working with CDC, Harvard University

and many local hosts and sponsors, the Foundation has engaged

more than 4,000 leaders in the trainings.

The CDC Foundation helped CDC and the World Health

Organization (WHO) reach several major milestones in the

Global Adult Tobacco Survey – a component of the Bloomberg

Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use. Working with country leaders,

the partners completed surveys to measure adult tobacco

use and the effectiveness of tobacco control measures in 14

countries, representing 3.6 billion people – over half the world’s

population. Survey data will help offi cials improve interventions

aimed at reducing smoking in these countries. The initiative is

funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies.

Thanks to grants from Abbott Laboratories, Bristol-Myers Squibb,

Genentech, Tibotec Therapeutics and Vertex Pharmaceuticals,

the CDC Foundation is supporting CDC’s $12 million Chronic

Viral Hepatitis B and C Cohort Study. The research will help CDC

answer important questions about screening, treatment and

outcomes of viral hepatitis. The Foundation also played a key

role in launching the Viral Hepatitis Action Coalition, a group

of industry and community partners committed to helping CDC

make meaningful advances in the prevention, screening and

treatment of viral hepatitis.

The CDC Foundation worked with Pfi zer Inc to help CDC’s

Division of Blood Disorders continue work on the Study of Blood

Inhibitors in Hemophilia Patients. Launched in 2005, the project

is a multi-year, multi-state collaborative study to identify risk

factors for developing an inhibitor, an antibody that prevents

hemophilia drugs from working. Pfi zer’s most recent gift of

$800,000 is helping CDC expand the study to collect more data.

Through partnerships with Wyeth Pharmaceuticals (now Pfi zer)

and Baxter BioScience, the CDC Foundation has received $6.8

million to support the study.

With a $1.44 million gift from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Ministry of Health, the CDC Foundation helped CDC launch a

Field Epidemiology Training Program in Saudi Arabia. The goals

of the program are to evaluate Saudi Arabia’s infectious disease

surveillance system, help train local and regional disease

detectives and improve the country’s capacity to monitor for

and respond to infectious disease outbreaks.

HIGHLIGHTS

“I had no idea that I was being considered for the Fries Prize. It was one of the best-kept secrets and an incredible honor. I’m indebted not only to those who nominated me, but also to those who selected me. In public health, nothing is achieved alone. Everything is achieved by working together for a common goal. The CDC Foundation is the perfect example, offering an unequaled opportunity to improve public health far beyond the capacity of government. That’s certainly the case with the Louise Martin Endowed Memorial Scholarship Fund. When I learned that there was a $60,000 award associated with the Fries Prize, it took me about two nano-seconds to fi gure out what to do with it. I pledged the prize money as a challenge gift* to the scholarship fund to match donations, and it had a strong impact. The challenge seemed a perfect way to draw attention to and dramatically grow the fund. I credit the Fries Foundation for supporting such a prize. It’s a remarkable family, and a remarkable prize that goes a long way toward heightening the visibility and awareness of accomplishments in public health.”

Walter Dowdle, Ph.D., received the 2010 Fries Prize for Improving Health for extraordinary and continuing leadership and scientifi c achievement to help prevent millions of cases of disease and death from HIV/AIDS, infl uenza, polio and other diseases. Dowdle, a consultant to the Task Force for Global Health and the World Health Organization (WHO), was with CDC for 33 years and served in various capacities, including former deputy director of the agency. The Louise Martin, D.V.M., M.S., EIS ’85, Endowed Memorial Scholarship, named after a former CDC staff member killed in the 1998 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, provides scholarships for disadvantaged young women in Kenya to attend the Starehe Girls’ Centre, a national boarding school.

CDC FOUNDATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Frances M. Shillinglaw, an Atlanta philanthropist who passed away in September 2009 at 93, was a generous patron of the theater and the arts with a passion for science and mathematics. Her bequest to the CDC Foundation supported the Assignment: CDC, Photographs by David Snyder exhibition at CDC’s Global Health Odyssey Museum. The CDC Foundation offers a number of giving opportunities for individuals, including planned gifts through estates (bequests); memorial gifts to remember a friend or a loved one who has passed away; and honor gifts to pay tribute to a colleague, friend or family member.

THE GENIUS OF GENEROSITY

Frances Shillinglaw

“Given Frances Shillinglaw’s keen intellect and sharp wit, it was never a surprise to me that science was her fi rst love. As a young woman in the 1930s, she was advised to steer clear of the sciences by her professors and chose instead the path of the liberal arts. Frances was always fascinated by CDC and relished the opportunity to visit with former CDC Director Julie Gerberding, M.D., M.P.H., when she was a member of the CDC Foundation’s Atlanta Advocacy Council. She was an intentional and extremely generous philanthropist who understood the genius of generosity, always wanting her wealth to serve as a catalyst for good to empower people and institutions. Thanks to Frances’ generous bequest, we were able to produce the Assignment: CDC photo exhibition, which captured the unique stories of individuals whose lives have been impacted by the work of CDC and the CDC Foundation. It was a privilege to know Frances, both as a philanthropist and a friend. Her gift is a lasting investment that will advance the important work of CDC for years to come.” – Chloe Knight Tonney, CDC Foundation

“Viral hepatitis is a silent killer that causes long-term health problems, including liver damage, liver failure and liver cancer. Yet even though millions of Americans are affected, many people don’t have symptoms and don’t know they are infected. That’s why surveillance, screening and public awareness are so important. Effective viral hepatitis policy is really about turning the ‘alphabet soup’ of hepatitis A, B and C into actionable public health measures. The Viral Hepatitis Action Coalition has moved very rapidly to rally a deliberate, coordinated response to the health threats posed by hepatitis, with a focus on recommendations from the Institute of Medicine. We’ve been able to go faster and farther because of the CDC Foundation’s capable team and their excellent relationship with CDC in designing concrete projects with measurable outcomes. When you take the expertise of CDC and match it with the Foundation’s resources, you can do more than just make things go faster – you can invigorate a program. It’s rewarding to join with the CDC Foundation and others to help CDC conduct high priority projects that will make a difference in the urgent fi ght against viral hepatitis.”

CONFRONTING A SILENT EPIDEMIC

Amit Sachdev is senior vice president of corporate affairs and public policy for Vertex Pharmaceuticals, a global biotechnology company committed to the discovery and development of breakthrough small molecule drugs for serious diseases.
