4. From the President’s Desk
Dear Donor,
The mission of the National Reye’s Syndrome Foundation is to eradicate the
incidence of Reye’s Syndrome. We are a registered 501(c)3 charity,
established in 1974 as a children’s health advocacy organization.
Our mission touches every single child born today. It has to. We absolutely
can not allow this disease, which has no cure, to victimize our children! With
your help, and with your support, Reye's Syndrome Awareness programs can
Board of Directors:
continue forward, and one day we will eradicate this killer of children.
John E. Freudenberger
President What is Reye’s Syndrome?
Larry M. Lasky Reye’s Syndrome is mysteriously triggered in children after flu, chicken pox,

My wife, Terri, and I founded the National Reye’s Syndrome Foundation in
Trustees: 1974 right after we lost our precious 5 year old daughter to Reye's Syndrome
Barbara A. Bogenschutz on Palm Sunday in 1973. At the time, we had no idea what Reye's Syndrome
James F. Johnson was. Many doctors didn’t know what Reye's Syndrome was. Someone had to

in its quest to eradicate the incidence of this horrible children’s disease.

5. Teaching Tweens & Teens the Danger of Self Medicating
My son Michael developed Reyes' Syndrome in 1980, following a bout of
Chicken Pox. I feared Reye’s since several children in our city died from it
that same year, so I was aware, at least, that it existed, through reading
their obituaries. Thank goodness I was. When he began vomiting, I called
our pediatrician, who also had some experience with Reyes. She asked me
to keep a check on him, note symptoms, and call back in several hours. I
did...we went to the ER on the doctor's orders, and hours later, were
transported to St. Christopher's Hospital, 60 miles away. Michael survived.
Today, many parents can learn about Reyes' without the only source being
obituaries. Pediatricians are better informed and the National Reyes'
Syndrome Foundation has done a fine job of educating the public. I
understand there is a push on by the Foundation regarding the issue of
teens and self-medicating. The Foundation’s job is far from over it seems,
and it won't be until every parent is aware of Reye’s and the symptoms.
Valerie McCracken, Easton, PA
Yes, the Foundation has taken on the project to Teach Tweens and Teens the Danger of Self-
Medicating. It is a serious conversation. Desperate emails and phone calls from parents and school
nurses validate the Teen Self-Medicating problems we are seeing more and more of today. 41 percent of
teens mistakenly believe that abuse of OTC medicines is less dangerous than abuse of illegal street
drugs, and most report that prescription drugs are easier to get than illegal drugs!
The best protection we can provide is to talk with our teens and tweens. Educate them. Teach them to
read warning labels, teach them to investigate side-effects, teach them to talk to a parent or a medical
professional before taking that pill, teach them to be cautious.
Someone needs to take this issue in hand and create a program that can reach out to our Tweens &
Teens, and that is just what we are doing.
We are developing a website, in-house, at www.AnniePill.com to provide education and materials to
teens, tweens, parents, school nurses and medical professionals.
There is still much to be done on this site so
it becomes appealing to our teens and
tweens, and we invite you to Champion
Children by contributing toward the
development of this site, and or the creation
and printing cost of brochures and other
related educational materials to raise
awareness about this important issue.

6. 136,000 Annual School Packages Keeps Kids Safe
Dear NRSF,
I have been a school nurse in southern California for the past 15 years and
it never ceases to amaze me how misinformed some parents are. I still
have to correct students who want to call their parents for aspirin. I also
instruct parents who sometimes tell me that they will bring or have given
their child aspirin. I always use this opportunity as a teaching moment to
remind parents that children under the age of 19 should NEVER take a
product containing aspirin.
Many of our student are not covered by health insurance and do not have
any regular health care. Some of our parents to do not read or understand
English, and some have low cognitive functioning. I just wanted to thank
you for providing Reye's Syndrome information I can hand out and use to
teach from. Thank you.
Nikki Williams, RN
School Nurse,
Westside Union School District, California
You are most welcome, Nikki! We’ve been sending packages of Reye's Syndrome information to schools
for the past 32 years!
The Foundation now contacts more than 136,000 schools across the United States and its Territories
every year with a special Reye's Syndrome Information Package.
Handouts to parents include the information in both English and Spanish, and in easy to read and
understand formats.
We know you work hard to keep your students safe, and we are right in there with you, doing whatever
we can, year in and year out, to protect children!
Your annual donation of $500.00 or more will help us offset the cost of this
yearly mailing to 136,000 schools.
You will know that you have reached millions of families with life saving Reye's
Syndrome information every year.
That new plaque on your wall will say it all: You are a Hero; a Champion of
Children!

7. Too low they build who build below the skies….
I am a family practice physician who cares for infants, children,
adolescents and adults.
Patient education is my number one goal. As I am only able to
spend a small amount of time with patients in comparison to the
rest of their day, I rely heavily on the accurate information that is
available to patient's from outside sources in order for them to
make wise decisions regarding over the counter medications and
supplements.
All day long I find myself recommending the National Reye’s
Syndrome Foundation’s websites at www.ReyesSyndrome.Org, and
the blog at http://blogat.rsgifting.org to parents, grandparents and
caregivers of young children.
Thank you for all you do in assisting me in educating my patients.
Dr. Nancy L. Reye, MD
Indiana University Health, Bloomington, Indiana
Thank YOU Dr. Reye, for helping us spread awareness about Reye's Syndrome!
YOU,
Education and Awareness are our two most vital areas. To promote both education and awareness the
NRSF has Public Service Announcements, various websites geared to each awareness need and
translate-able into 23 languages, an 800 number, and email so information is freely available 24/7.
We give out Reye's Syndrome DVD’s; ‘Reye's Syndrome, a Real and Present Danger’ and our Medical
Professional’s Reye's Syndrome Learning DVD; ‘Reye's Syndrome and its Mimickers’. We have a
Scientific Advisory Board, all of whom are pioneers and well known doctors in their respective fields of
research and medicine.
We offer brochures, bookmarks, wallet size ‘ingredients to avoid’ cards, blogs, widgets, blidgets, rss
feeds, websites, Facebook pages, all chock full of education and awareness about Reye's Syndrome and
the Teens and Tweens self-medicating issue.
Our print material, and our electronic material, is created in-house. The NRSF works with the FDA, the
CDC, NIH, WHO, and many, many other organizations in creating, educating, and spreading Reye's
Syndrome information and awareness.
The NRSF does not solicit government funding.
We rely solely on the generosity of people like you,
and corporate sponsorship.
We invite you to join us and Champion Children!
None goes his way alone:
All that we send into the lives of others comes back onto our own.

9. To know that one life has breathed easier because you lived
here… This is to have succeeded.
As the Child Development teacher at the Helen Berube Teen
Parent Program in Pittsfield, MA, I am thrilled with the
Reye's Syndrome material we just received. Thank you so
very much for your prompt response as I want all of our
young women to receive this valuable information.
A top priority of our program is to provide our young mothers
with appropriate information to allow them to become
proactive for their children as well as for themselves.
Again, please know how grateful we are for your immediate
attention.
Nancy A Peterson
The Helen Berube Teen Parent Program
My daughter had Reye's Syndrome when
she was 3 years old. She will
graduate from nursing school to
pursue pediatric
nursing. I will
spread this
information
because I know
first hand how
important it is.
Thank you for your
continued efforts
to educate the
masses on this topic.
Childrens Resource Network Centers: Thank you so much for
assisting us in training care givers and parents about Reye’s.
We will continue to inform others through our training
classes in hopes that one day all children will have the benefit
of early diagnosis leading to positive outcomes.

11. On the Inside of the NRSF
The Inner Workings of the National Reye’s Syndrome Foundation, Inc.
The NRSF is under the direction of a four member volunteer Board of
Directors; a President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary.
There is a seven member volunteer Trustee Board that includes our
Aspirin Chairperson and our Scientific Advisory Board Chairperson.
Our volunteer Scientific Advisory Board consists of seven prestigious
medical doctors and researchers who graciously volunteer their time and expertise.
Both our Medical Director and Legal Counsel volunteer their time and expertise as well.
Everyone who participates with the NRSF volunteers their time and skills.
The Foundation has only one person on payroll, and that is our Administrative Assistant, whose skills in
Office Management, Volunteer Coordinating, Desktop Publishing, Website Design and Management and
Accounting actually saves the NRSF thousands of dollars each year.
Office space for the NRSF is donated, as are ‘overhead’ expenses like electric and Internet access.
97% of all donations to the Foundation are spent on Program Services; Awareness and Education.
3% of donations are spent on Supporting Services like Management and General and Fundraising
expenses. All financial statements and our 990 are available upon request.
As you can see, we take our Program Services very seriously. We understand the power in Education
and Awareness. We know we save young lives.
We invite you to create a Legacy for yourself, and or, your company.

12. Your Opportunities
Our commitment is to eradicate the incidence of Reye's Syndrome.
We know that with education and awareness about Reye's Syndrome, we can accomplish our mission.
♦ Your opportunity is to be a Hero, a Champion, for children.
♦ Your opportunity is to be a part of History in eradicating this disease.
♦ Your opportunity is to involve yourself, and or, your company in supporting a program that
benefits children in your community, across the United States, and around the world.
Where Your Donation is Needed
♦ Every Year we mail out a postcard to 136,000 schools across the US and its Territories.
School Nurses are directed to a page on the ReyesSyndrome.Org website where they download a
package of Reye's Syndrome information in both English and Spanish.
You might ask why we just don’t use email to remind our School Nurses about downloading this Reye's
Syndrome package. What we have discovered is that School Nurses are moved around through districts,
or they go to work in hospitals or private practice. Email addresses change every year. Schools close and
new ones appear every year. Email in this instance just does not work.
We’ve gotten the cost down to printing a postcard and non-profit postage: $40,000.00 every year.
And, this mailing reaches millions of families with Reye's Syndrome information every year. This
Awareness program is the most powerful tool we have today.
♦ Teaching Tweens and Teens the Dangers of Self-Medicating
Self-
Teens and Tweens are at serious risk of Reye's Syndrome. They take medication without consulting
parents or caregivers, they share medications at school. They do not think to talk to a doctor or other
health professional about their symptoms, they self-diagnose and then self-medicate.
We know how to reach out to this group. We have a plan we know will work. We can incoporate this
issue with our annual school mailing, and provide information to School Nurses as a download from the
ReyesSyndrome.Org website.
We have to reach out to these youngsters where they spend their time; the Internet. We can develop, in-
house, a powerful website that Teens, Tweens, Parents, Nurses and Medical Professionals can use for
education on this self-medicating issue. We will use YouTube, Facebook and the various other social
network sites to spread our message to teens and tweens.
Public Service Announcements would assist in spreading education about this issue quickly.
As with any startup venture, capital needs to be raised to jumpstart the much needed educational and
awareness programs. Estimated cost of this most important project is $150,000.00 Once in place, all
this project would require is maintanance.

13. Every $100.00 you donate reaches 1000 children.
97% of all donations to the Foundation are spent on Program Services; Awareness and
Education.
3% of donations are spent on Supporting Services like Management, and General Fundraising.
