my and Bill Rhodes understand exactly what it means to have a world-class children’shospital located in their hometown. Both their pre-teen son and teenage daughter have

been patients at Le Bonheur and their daughter receives ongoing care here for epilepsy.“You wake up one morning and everyone’s healthy and the next day you wake up and learn,

your daughter has epilepsy,” Amy says. “We were scared to death.”Aer consulting with Dr. James Wheless, the medical director of Le Bonheur’s

Neuroscience Institute, Bill and Amy, like any concerned parents,sought a second opinion.

“We knew we were receiving the best care at Le Bonheur,” Amysays, “but we had so many unanswered questions. is wasdefinitely a life-changing event for our family and we werehungry for knowledge.”

“What we learned when we visited the Mayo Clinic was thatwhat we had in Memphis at Le Bonheur under the direction ofDr. Wheless was world-class,” Bill adds.

Aer their daughter was officially diagnosed at Le Bonheurin 2010, the exceptional care she has received since under Dr.

Wheless’ direction enabled her to run the MemphisHalf Marathon this past December with her

mom and dad.Prior to their daughter’s treatment here,

their son, then 8, fell from a zip line at schooland hit his head on the concrete − anyparent’s nightmare. e paramedics arrivedfirst and by the time Bill arrived, their sonwas already inside the ambulance, strappedto a back board, wearing a neck brace andbreathing through an oxygen tube.

“He had been unconscious and they toldus he needed to get to Le Bonheur’sEmergency Department immediately,”Bill says.

Once their son had been examinedand moved to the ICU, the physiciansgave Bill and Amy all the informationthey needed to understand their son’s

trauma and what to expect over thenext few hours.

“e ICU at Le Bonheur is really remarkable and the service is unbelievable,” Bill says. “eentire medical team comforted us and found us a place where we could rest. While we werethere, it was amazing to see all the different challenges the people around us were facing. Itreminded us how vulnerable we are. Every family has a story.”

Prior to their son’s accident, Amy had toured the hospital in the Le Bonheur 101 program,designed to provide a behind-the-scenes view to Le Bonheur donors and supporters. Becauseshe had met many of Le Bonheur’sleading physicians and had beenintroduced to various units in thehospital during her tour, the comfortlevel Amy and Bill had with their son’scare givers was considerably greater thanit might have been if Amy had neverbeen inside the hospital.

“e doctors in the EmergencyDepartment were outstanding and thenurses were incredible,” Amy says. “Wetook great comfort knowing the highlyskilled, incredibly compassionate LeBonheur nurses were in charge of ourson’s care.”

In gratitude for the care both theirchildren received at Le Bonheur, Amyand Bill made a significant gi to the capital campaign to build the new hospital. Because bothof their children required the care of subspecialists in neuroscience, the couple selected the EEGClinic as their naming opportunity for their gi.

eir decision to make a gi in honor of Dr. Wheless and his team was an easy one.“We wanted to give back to Le Bonheur,” Bill says. “We have been so incredibly blessed and

we believe it is our responsibility to give back. We always look for causes that help a broadpopulation, and who doesn’t want to help children? Because we’ve been personally touched byLe Bonheur and we believe in their mission, we’re happy to participate.”

“We’re so grateful to Dr. Wheless and the Neuroscience Institute,” Amy adds. “We’ll bedealing with our daughter’s care forever and we depend upon Le Bonheur.”

Since making their gi, the couple has seen how their donation has made a difference.Just walking through the hospital you quickly notice how positive the environment is, even

for the sick children,” Bill says. “e impact that Le Bonheur has on our community not onlyhelps our children, it, along with the many other important medical community assets, plays avital role in the economic prosperity of this region.”

With the new hospital now a reality, Amy says she and her husband feel privileged to haveplayed a role. “Le Bonheur had the vision and we just helped,” she says. “I am proud for thechildren of Memphis to have Le Bonheur and I am proud for the city of Memphis to have suchan incredible resource as Le Bonheur.”

“We have one of the best children’s hospitals in the country and the more we support it, thestronger it will become. Having community resources like Le Bonheur helps entice potential

newcomers to join our community,” Bill says. “In Memphis, we are incredibly fortunate to havesuch a strong health-care community and I believe the strength of our medical community is asignificant point of differentiation from other cities.”

is past year, Amy joined the Le Bonheur Foundation Board. “It’s an honor to serveLe Bonheur in a different way,” she says. “It’s one thing to give money but another thing to giveyour time and attention.”

Amy additionally serves on the University of Memphis Board of Visitors, Shelby Farms ParkConservancy Board, St. Mary’s Episcopal School Board of Trustees and the University ofTennessee Alliance of Women Philanthropists Executive Board.

Bill is Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of AutoZone, Inc., a position he hasheld since 2007, following more than12 years with the company where heserved in a variety of executive-levelroles. He also is the immediate pastchairman of Memphis Tomorrow,Vice Chairman for Youth Programs,Inc. (host organization for the FedExSt. Jude Classic) and Treasurer forthe National Civil Rights MuseumBoard, as well as other industry andpublic boards.

Bill is a graduate of the Universityof Tennessee at Martin with anaccounting degree. He also earned amaster of business administrationdegree from the University ofMemphis where he met Amy, hiswife of 18 years, on a blind datewhile attending graduate school.Amy is a speech pathologist who has

worked with the Memphis Oral School for the Deaf and Shelby County Schools.It’s not surprising to learn that the couple mentions the founder of AutoZone as their role

model for giving.“AutoZone really has a strong culture of giving,” Bill says. “We’ve both learned the

importance of giving from Pitt and Barbara Hyde. ey certainly lead by example.”While Bill and Amy would prefer to remain anonymous, they were willing to share their

story with the hope of inspiring others to follow their giving to Le Bonheur.“Maybe our story will encourage others to get involved,” Bill says.“You don’t know what Le Bonheur means until you need it,” Amy adds. “Before we used

their services, we knew it was a wonderful place but we really had no idea how wonderful. Youhope you will never have to use their services but if that day comes, as it has for us, you quicklyrealize how blessed we are in this community to have Le Bonheur. As a parent, you take tremen-dous comfort knowing your child is getting the very best care possible.”

or more than 25 years, Mary Shainberg’s philanthropy hasbeen inspired by the philosophy that “you make a living by

what you get. You make a life by what you give.”Mary and her late husband, Herbert,

were among Memphis’ leading patronswho championed children with

developmental disorders. In 1996, 11years aer Herbert’s death, Maryestablished the Herbert and Mary

Shainberg Neuroscience ResearchFund at Le Bonheur and since then has

continued to carry forward theirmission to help children stricken with

neurological problems and physical disabilities.anks to the Shainberg Fund, Le Bonheur neuroscientists

and physicians can continue to tackle childhood neurologicalproblems during the early stages of a child’s life, which in turnhelps improve these patients’ quality of life and gives them agreater chance at living a normal life.

Most recently, Mary’s generous support of Le BonheurChildren’s capital campaign to build a new hospital, along withher sponsorship of a special piece of art displayed on thehospital’s 10th floor, speaks volumes about her dedication tohelping build a first-class hospital for children in Memphis. Amember of Temple Israel synagogue, Mary’s contribution to thenew hospital was honored through the naming of the Herbertand Mary Shainberg Chapel, a sanctuary for the spiritualhealing of Le Bonheur families.

“I have always believed that children are our future,” Marysays. “ere is nothing that pleases me more than to see thatthe fruit of our giving is making a difference in the lives ofchildren.”

avid Stevens has championed Le Bonheur Children’sHospital for more than three decades.

He got his first taste of Le Bonheur when he was recruitedto join the hospital administrative staff in 1979

and for the next 18 years he servedLe Bonheur in a myriad of capacities

before founding Accredo Health, Inc.,in 1996.

David joined the Le BonheurFoundation Board of Directors in

2004 and soon found himselfspearheading the capital campaign to

build the new $340 million hospital.en as now, David staunchly believed that the Le Bonheurboard had an obligation to provide the finest pediatric hospitalin the country and to make sure that the region’s childrenreceived the best health care available. He led the charge tobuild the right facility that would make Le Bonheur a jewel forthe entire community.

As first a board member and then campaign chairman, itwasn’t long before David was named chairman of the founda-tion board. roughout his tenure, David’s constant vision andcommitment was to build a hospital that would serve all thechildren of Memphis and the region for the next 50 years andbeyond.

Even though the capital campaign has ended, David isstill at it, working diligently behind the scenes to ensureLe Bonheur’s future.

“With the opening of the new hospital, Le Bonheur’s needsdo not diminish,” he says. “We must now focus on raisingsupport to fund the expansion of Le Bonheur’s clinicalprograms and research capabilities. Most of all, it’s important tomake sure we have funding so all patients, regardless of theirfamily’s ability to pay, receive the same high level of care.”

What motivated you to name Le Bonheur in your will?“My family spent some time in refugee camps in India and survived on the generosity of various U.S. andUnited Nations-based organizations. While in college, I was fortunate to help pay my way through a generousscholarship from the Wattumul Foundation established by a successful Indian Sindhi businessman in Hawaii.Cognizant of being a recipient of this generosity earlier in my life, I made it a practice to pay back as much as Icould within my means. Le Bonheur became a natural and obvious choice to be included in my will.”

Why is leaving a legacy at Le Bonheur important to you?“I believe I’ll be leaving a legacy of love, kindness and faith in the future. It is important to me that dedicatedresearch, surgery and healing at Le Bonheur will eradicate or ameliorate the diseases that bring anguish to

parents who see their children suffer, dashing their hopes and depriving humanity of its mostvaluable asset − our children.”

What do you hope the impact of your gi to Le Bonheur will be?“It is my fervent hope that my gi inspires others to follow suit and helps create a poolof resources that will grow and multiply, guaranteeing that Le Bonheur’s excellentwork in the betterment of quality of life continues for years to come withoutfinancial constraints. To keep a lamp burning we need to keep puttingoil in it.”

In what ways do you believe your gi will make a difference inthe lives of children?“For quality health care, research and to have the best dedicated minds, any institutionneeds dependable sources of funding and reliable funding can be provided through

endowments, bequests and altruistic gestures. No amount is too small. Each gi willmake a tangible difference in the lives of children afflicted by debilitating or

threatening diseases by making available the best tools of health care.He who has health has hope and he who has hope has everything.”

Why is philanthropy important?“I believe that philanthropy is the life blood of human civiliza-tion and its evolution. We have never really lived until we have

done something for someone who can never repay.”

How does Le Bonheur’s missiondovetail with your beliefs?“Le Bonheur’s mission to be a leader in

children’s health care, researchand advocacy in the Mid-Southis in sync with my belief thathealthy children are ourgreatest asset. Children are ourfuture and have the right toaccessibility of the very bestpossible health care available.”

Why is philanthropy important?Philanthropy is extremely important because nothing getsdone without it.

What is your philosophy about giving back?When I was 10 years old, I helped my mother write thank-younotes to Le Bonheur donors. Philanthropy is not just money butalso the time you put into it. I’ve always believed in thesaying,“Life is like a bank: you get out of it exactly what you putinto it.”

What inspired your first gi to Le Bonheur?I followed in my mother’s footsteps and joined Le Bonheur Clubin 1970. I have given ever since.

Why do you continue to support Le Bonheur?I give to organizations that help the most people and I give toLe Bonheur because it helps more than 200,000 childrenannually. Children are our future and if they aren’t well, there’sno hope. If you can’t keep our children healthy, then it’s adetriment to society as a whole.

Why is it important for the communityto support Le Bonheur?A children’s hospital is geared just for children. eir needs aredifferent and the services that can be provided to them atLe Bonheur cannot be duplicated at an adult hospital.

What do you hope the impact of your consistentgiving to Le Bonheur will be?To show others that someone like me, who is not wealthy, cangive religiously all year long and make an impact onthe future of all our children.

How does giving to Le Bonheur make you feel?Giving to Le Bonheur is just a part of me. I learned by example.I saw my mother work for Le Bonheur Club and what a differ-ence it made. To me, Le Bonheur is worth the time and effort.
