Through Hospital for Special Care's Ivan Lendl Junior Wheelchair Sports Camp - the first and only one of its kind on the East coast - world-class disabled athletes provide campers with instruction in tennis, swimming, basketball, and track & field at no cost, thanks to the fundraising success of the Hospital for Special Care's annual Ivan Lendl Golf Tournament.

Operating model

Revenue model: Affiliate-supported. 88% of the money available for current operations came from contributions from related organizations.
Distribution model: Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
