Each UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation (UHCCF) medical grant provides so much more than financial assistance: it gives hope for a bright future. Our UHCCF grant kids and families are why we work hard each and every day. That's why we continue to add more creative ways to fundraise for our mission of improving children’s lives and helping families gain access to the care they need through medical grants.

IN 2017, WE SAW FANTASTIC GROWTH THANKS TO OUR WONDERFUL SUPPORTERS:

• 2,606 medical grants were awarded — worth $4.7 million • We hosted 17 regional events, including three brand new events

- The Tour de Triangle, presented by SAS, in Cary, North Carolina, raised $62,500

- The Steppin' Up for Kids virtual walk raised more than $72,000 nationwide

- The Minneapolis, Minnesota Holiday Boutique pop-up shop on the U.S. Bank Stadium field saw 26,000 visitors and raised over $22,000

• The Hazeltine Golf Classic in Chaska, Minnesota, raised an amazing $1.7 million in donations

• Many new UHCCF products were created and are sold on Amazon, including our fourth Oliver & Hope® storybook, three joke books written by kids for kids, a unique UHCCF PopSocket, and an Oliver & Hope coloring and activity book

• The UnitedHealth Group Employee Giving campaign raised more than $3.2 million, enough to award 1,800 medical grants for kids.

In all, we would not be able to make the kind of impact we did without your tireless support. We thank you for everything you have done for us, and hope that you'll join us for another amazing year ahead.

Sincerely,

Fiona

Granting Hope. CHANGING LIVES.

With her bright smile and personality, you’d never know Fiona was born with megalencephaly-polymicrogyria-polydactyly-hydrocephalus syndrome, a rare genetic disorder caused by a malformation in her brain. Her disorder led to epilepsy, speech delays, and severe mobility impairment. With a UHCCF medical grant, Fiona’s family was able to purchase a medical stroller and wheelchair. We’re happy to say she’s now taking her first steps with a gait trainer and is focused on her next big goal of having fun at nearby parks and beaches all summer.

MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE | AGE 3

Thanks to wonderful supporters like you, UnitedHealthcare Children's Foundation has the unbelievable opportunity to see amazing children overcome challenges.

YOUR SUPPORT MEANS A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE

TOGETHER WE DO CHANGE LIVES.

AnuheaFor a sweet girl like Anuhea, her speech impediment wasn’t enough to take away her smile. However, her need for speech therapy outside of school came at a great cost to her family. Fortunately, with a UHCCF medical grant, Anuhea was able to receive therapy that helped her communication and comprehension skills. Most importantly, it helped her make new friends.

RENTON, WASHINGTON | AGE 8

PrestonPreston loves sports, but when his Type 1 diabetes tried to slow him down, UHCCF helped ensure he stayed in the game.

Before receiving much-needed assistance,Preston would skip meals and tell his mom he wasn’t hungry to avoid being poked 10+ times a day to check his blood sugar levels. The UHCCF medical grant enabled Preston to get a sophisticated insulin pump and blood glucose monitoring system — allowing him to focus on being a kid again.

CYPRESS, TEXAS | AGE 10


CarterWhile Carter loves being in the water, his first months were anything but smooth sailing. Within his first two weeks of life, Carter was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and a milk allergy. A UHCCF medical grant gave Carter access to specialists and special formulas — allowing him to get better and do what he loves: splashing around and working on his impressive sandcastle-building skills.

MIDLOTHIAN, VIRGINIA | AGE 1

JewelAs an accomplished violinist and lacrosse player, Jewel is a thriving teenager. As a newborn, however, she experienced the challenges that come with a unilateral cleft lip and palate. Thanks to a UHCCF medical grant, Jewel recently received the necessary corrective surgery — fixing her condition and boosting her self-confidence.

15,000+ GrantsThrough generous individual donations, corporate

award-winning merchandise, UHCCF was able to fund

2,606 medical grants, valued at $4.7M, in 2017 – our

Over the past 10 years, UHCCF has awarded more than

15,000 medical grants — valued at more than $40 million

needed grants have helped cover treatments associated

with cancer, diabetes, autism, Down syndrome, cerebral

palsy, and other health conditions.

These children are in a better place today because of

the support and generosity of UnitedHealth Group

employees, donors, individuals, and corporations.

We send a special thank you to all the volunteers

who made our 2017 fundraising events a success.

We couldn't have reached this important

milestone without you.

Together we helped 2,606 children andfamilies through the medical grants program.

As shown on the map above, the impact of the Foundation is nationwide. Our goal of awarding our 20,000th medical grant in 2020 is closer than ever!

UNITEDHEALTH GROUP HEROES

Leave it to over 100 volunteers and thousands of participants at UnitedHealthGroup, Optum and UnitedHealthcare to rise to the occasion. With their help, UHCCF was able to launch our employee Hero Days event at over 100 sites across the nation, many included grant recipients as special guests, like Athulya, age 9, from Prior Lake, Minnesota. More than 7,000 employees donated financially to our grant program.

Our Grins2 program is twice as fun for kids. Because when donors purchase a Grins2 gift bag, it actually impacts two children. One child receives the gift while the other has his or her life changed by a UHCCF medical grant. One simple gift. Two very big smiles.

Each Grins to Go gift bag is filled with an assortment of popular toys and activities designed for boys and girls between the ages of 5 and 12.

In April, our Grins2 campaign raised nearly $28,000 for UHCCF medical grants — impacting nearly 1,000 children at 235 hospitals and Ronald McDonald Houses.

Our summer Grins2 campaign brought many needed smiles and laughter to more than 350 children at 128 hospitals across the nation.

In December, 173 Grins to Go activity bags and 201 Oliver plush bears shipped out just in time for Christmas. Because of your generosity, a total of 374 children received a gift during the 2017 holiday season.

MAKE THEM SMILE ALL YEARGiving a Grins2 gift is easy:

• Sign up to donate a Grins to Go bag at www.uhccf.org/support-uhccf/shop/

Grins2™ Program Delivers Reasons to Smile

In 2017, we offered new gifts on Amazon. Proceeds from every sale went toward raising money for medical grants — because we believe all gifts should give back.

Three Times the FunIn July of 2017, UHCCF released 3 additional Little Book of Big Laughs Joke Books, for a total of 6 in the series.

GermanyAt UHCCF, we’re extremely proud to see how far Germany has come. When we first met her in 2014, she had recently been diagnosed with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, a leg tumor, and a low-grade tumor in her cerebellum, which made it difficult for her to sleep. Today, she is all smiles and living life to the fullest.

As one of our 2017 grant recipients, we’re happy to report that Germany is currently pursuing her dream of becoming a nurse. After spending so much time in hospitals, she was inspired by the great nurses who took care of her. Now, she wants to be there for other children in need so she can make them feel better too. Beyond nursing, Germany loves to draw and sing — talents we’re sure her future patients will love.

WEST JORDAN, UTAH | AGES 8

Twins Anna and Kate share everything from looks toeven the same laughter. Unfortunately, they also share Apraxia of Speech — the disconnect from the brain to mouth that makes speech difficult. After receiving UHCCF medical grants, Anna and Kate were able to get the frequent, intense speech therapy they needed to focus on the fun things in life.

For Anna, that’s dancing. You can find her twirling, leaping, and expressing herself all day, any day. Her natural ability as a dancer is truly a gift for her family to watch. Kate is equally active, though she prefers the tumbling mat. Through flips, tricks, handsprings, and back tucks, she’s gained the confidence she needs to master anything she wants. Both are inspirations to us all.

"When my son, Bentley, was two years old, I noticed a severe speech delay. I brought him to Children’s Hospital of Atlanta where they recommended he start speech therapy. Unfortunately, with our insurance not covering speech therapy and Bentley already in feeding therapy for his refusal to eat, I literally didn’t know how I could afford it.

Thankfully, UHCCF awarded us a $1,000 medical grant for his speech therapy. I’m proud to say that Bentley is now six and his speech is doing well. I can now understand him and his teachers and doctors have noticed a big improvement. Thank you for everything. We will be forever grateful!"

"My daughter, Julia, has achondroplasia — the most common form of dwarfism. Since her birth, we have reached our $4,000 deductible every year due to MRIs, multiple surgeries, and associated tests.

We just want to say how incredibly thankful we are to have received multiple UHCCF medical grants throughout the years. Not only has each grant provided the financial support our family needed, it has helped us worry less."

"Our 5-year-old daughter, Winnie, has had Type 1 diabetes since 16 months old. As parents of a young child with Type 1 diabetes, we must constantly be monitoring our child for symptoms of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Being so young, she did not know how to tell when her blood sugar was high or low.

With the UHCCF grant money, we purchased a Dexcom continuous glucose monitor — a small device that inserts a thin wire under Winnie’s skin to measure her blood glucose 24/7. This tool has been invaluable for us and her teachers. But, for Winnie, it gives her the freedom to be a kid. We cannot thank you enough for that."

-- Michelle (Winnie's Mom)

How to Make a Contribution

The UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation offers medical grants that provide financial relief for families who have children with medical needs not covered, or not fully covered, by their commercial health insurance plan. Families do not need to have UnitedHealthcare insurance to be eligible. Please help us give the gift of hopeto families in need. Visit UHCCF.org to reviewthe application criteria and how the grant process works.

How to Apply for a Grant

Your donation will help fund medical grants in your region that help children access new or continued medical treatment. Anyone interested in donating and supporting UHCCF's mission can visit UHCCF.org to make an online contribution, or you may send us a check, payable to UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation, MN017-W400, P.O. BOX 41, Minneapolis, MN 55440-0041.

If you are a UnitedHealth Group employee, you can give any amount on a one-time or recurring basis through payroll deduction, credit card, or PayPal at giving.uhg.com. For every dollar UnitedHealth Group employees donate to UHCCF, the United Health Foundation will match 100%. This doubles the impact of every dollar you give!

JerryAt age 3, Jerry was diagnosed with an oral sensory disorder that required occupational therapy. During his therapy, doctors discovered numerous underlying motor skill concerns, and recommended physical therapy as well. A UHCCF medical grant helped Jerry’s family ease the financial concern of his ongoing therapies and orthotic shoe inserts. Today, Jerry is your typical 6-year-old, bike-riding, jump-roping, fun-loving boy — just as he should be.

Without your support, UHCCF would not be able to help improve the lives of children and families across the nation. Since 2007, your donations have enabled us to deliver over

15,000 medical grants totaling over $40 million. And, we’re just getting started!

Since day one, Dominic has been a fighter. Born at just 29 weeks and weighing only 2-lbs., 7-oz., Dominic has already seen his fair share of battles. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy, cortical visual impairment, epilepsy, and periventricular leukomalacia, he requires a wheelchair and other specialized mobility equipment to get around. With a UHCCF medical grant, his parents were able to afford his first wheelchair, which gave him the freedom to be a kid and enabled them to take him places more easily.

Today, Dominic is a happy, fun-loving little boy who loves music, super heroes, reading, being with friends at school, and hippotherapy — where he gets to ride a horse! He even participated in the Hamilton County Special Olympics track and field spring meet, where he competed in the 10-meter assisted walk. Way to go, Dominic!
