The report shows that this year the NRS received $824,986 in donations
and spent $100,000 on rosacea research which is just over 12% of the total
donations which is the highest percentage spent on rosacea research since
the NRS began doing research in 1998. This is an improvement. The report
continues to show that two of the three highest paid independent contractors
used by the NRS, Glendale Communications Group, Inc., and Park Mailing and
Fulfillment, Inc., an affiliate of Glendale, received in 2007 $529,964 which is
64% of the total donations received. This is 3% more than 2006 and whether
this is an improvement for the NRS or Glendale you be the judge. Glendale is
owned by Sam Huff who is the director of the NRS.
The NRS has received in donations from 1998 thru 2007 $7,805,271. Over this
same period (1998 thru 2007) a total of $4,769,670 (61%) the NRS has spent
on two independent contractors, Glendale Communcations Group, Inc., of
Barrington, Illoinois which is owned by Sam Huff and another independent
contractor, Park Mailing and Fulfillment, Inc., which is an affiliate of
Glendale.
For the years 1998 thru 2007 the NRS has received in donations a total of
$7,805,271 and spent a total of $785,746 on rosacea research. That means
that about 10% of total donations was spent on research. That means that of
every dollar donated to the NRS about ten cents is spent on research.
