| Part I, line 10 | | Grants And Similar Amounts Paid:, Amount:| The $4500 is the total donation given to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF). The MMRF was established in 1998 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The mission of the MMRF is to relentlessly pursue innovative means to accelerate the development of next-generation multiple myeloma treatments to extend the lives of patients and lead to a cure. As an end-to-end solution to accelerate drug development the MMRF does everything it can to make sure the next generation of treatments is brought to patients as quickly as possible - from bridging drug discovery gaps through its innovative research portfolio and funding early-stage research to developing novel business solutions that inject speed and efficiency into every step along the drug development pathway. As the world's number-one private funder of multiple myeloma research the MMRF has raised nearly $500 million since its inception and directs nearly 90% of total budget to research and related programming. The MMRF has received a "Best in America" Seal of Excellence from the Independent Charities of America an "A+" rating from the American Institute of Philanthropy and earned Charity Navigator's four star rating., $4500| |
| Part III, line 31 | |Explanation:, Grants Amount:, Expense Amount:|Continuation of primary exempt purpose: Our signature event for Crawfish for Cancer is our annual crawfish boil, which includes food, beverages, and live music. The event spawned out of the crawfish boil our president and founder, a Mississippi native, hosted during his time at Williams College and after graduation while living in Boston. This Southern tradition was a welcome reminder of home for the Mississippi transplant and became a popular event with a large following, regardless of one's state (or country) of origin. As his father's own battle with multiple myeloma continued, Mr. Crowell decided to capitalize on the energy and enthusiasm for his crawfish boil by forming Crawfish for Cancer, Inc. and organizing a larger event with the sole purpose of raising money to fund research for the fight against multiple myeloma. Since hosting our first crawfish boil in 2009, we have now completed ten crawfish boil fundraisers in New York City through 2018, as well as numerous other crawfish boils in Washington DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Boston, Charleston, New Orleans, Charlotte, and Los Angeles. Generally, the events have sold 300-1000 tickets per year (the newer events are on the low end of that range and NYC is on the high end). We have now donated $454,500 to the MMRF over the last 11 years. Unfortunately, 2019 was a very difficult year for ticket sales, and as a result, we had to cancel our NYC and New Orleans boils, and only hosted one crawfish boil in Washington DC. ----------------------------Part IV: Crawfish for Cancer is entirely made up of volunteers, with no paid employees. During 2019, we only hosted 1 Crawfish Boil in Washington DC and unfortunately had to cancel 2 others in NYC and New Orleans due to poor ticket sales. We generally have 10-15 volunteers for each city/event, although NYC generally has 20-25 (including our Board of Directors). Volunteers mainly help with organizing, setting up, and running the Crawfish Boil events. We have four voting members of our governing body, all of which are volunteers within the organization and did not receive any compensation. The time requirement for each officer is greatest prior to and after each event, which we refer to as the "peak period." The time demand from each officer is approximately 10 hours per week during the peak period and minimal during off-peak periods.-----------------------------Schedule B, Part I, #1: The $12,750 donation was made by a single check from Peter Vecchio, although this was on behalf of all 4 Board Members (James Crowell, Peter Vecchio, Michael Graham, and Scott Johnson). Because the NYC and New Orleans events had to be canceled, we had a number of expenses that were non-refundable (venue, band, etc). To offset these costs, the Board of Directors collectively made a donation. ----------------------------------Schedule G, Part II: These figures are for the Crawfish Boil in Washington DC and do not include the costs incurred for the canceled events in NYC and New Orleans. This also does not include the $18,627 in donations that we received. ----------------------------Schedule G, Part II, #9: Other direct expenses include labor, materials, decorations, advertising, etc for each event. -----------------------------Reason for not filing by May 15, 2020: Due to the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, I was unable to file by the original May 15, 2020 deadline. I applied for the automatic 6 month extension so that I could complete all of the necessary paperwork., $0, $| |
