April 12, 2011 Barry Goldberg Assistant Illinois Attorney General Charitable Trust Bureau 100 West Randolph

Street Chicago, IL 60601 Dear Assistant Attorney General Goldberg: Re: Ronald McDonald House Charities, EIN 36-2934689 and Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland & NW Indiana, EIN 36-3532553, both located in Oak Brook, IL. This is to request that your office review the following information below in order to determine if either or both of the above nonprofit corporations may have violated any Illinois laws. This is also to request that you provide me with the results of your findings. According to the web site of Ronald McDonald House Charities: We award grants to other nonprofit organizations that align with our mission to positively impact the health and well being of children. From 2004-06, Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) and Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland and NW Indiana awarded payments totaling $125,000 to the Save-ALife Foundation of Schiller Park IL (SALF). Numerous records, including a sworn 2004 AG990-IL annual report submitted to your office, state that RMHC awarded these funds to SALF as part of a matching grant program in conjunction with the Chicago Public Schools (CPS). For its part, CPS paid SALF an additional $49,000, making a grand total of $174,000. In return, SALF was contracted to provide first aid training classes to 18,000 CPS students during school years 2004/05 and 2005/06. However, as you have previously been made aware, in response to a federal court subpoena and FOIAs, CPS has failed to produce records showing that these classes ever took place. This raises obvious questions as to whether RMHC exercises adequate oversight in its administration of grants. Further, according to an e-mail sent last year by Doug Porter, CEO of RMHC of Chicago & NW Indiana, program records were prematurely destroyed, an apparent violation of RMHC Records Management Policy. In a March 7, 2011 letter to RMHC President and CEO Martin J. Coyne, I presented this information along with thorough supporting documentation. My letter requested that his company initiate a review to determine if the $125,000 awarded to SALF was properly administered and also to determine if the destruction of the records constituted a violation of his company's policies. I did not receive a response letter so I sent a March 31, 2011 follow-up letter to Mr. Coyne stating that if I did not receive a letter of response by April 8, 2011, my understanding would be that his company did not intend to address these concerns. To date I have not received a letter of response.

Along with the letter you're now reading, this is to request that you include my March 7, 2011 letter to Mr. Coyne in your review of these matters. Please click here to download a copy. Supporting documents posted on the Internet are linked within both letters. If you require hard copies of any documents, please advise. Thank you for your consideration. Please inform me if and when your office chooses to initiate an investigation. Sincerely,

Peter M. Heimlich 3630 River Hollow Run Duluth, GA 30096 ph: (208)474-7283 e-mail: pmh@medfraud.info website: http://medfraud.info
