CVS CAREMARK 20 2011 ANNUAL REPORT
CVS Caremark supported local communities all
across the country in 2011. Both the company
and our foundation, the CVS Caremark Charitable
Trust, contributed $48 million in donations, volun-
teer hours, and gifts in kind to community-based
non-profit organizations dedicated to bettering the
lives of children and making quality health care
accessible to everyone.
With nearly 50 million people without health insur-
ance in the United States, the CVS Caremark
Charitable Trust is focused on increasing access to
health care. We distributed many grants to further
that goal. For example, our support of HomeFront
in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, will help it expand
the services it delivers to the region’s homeless
population, including improving access to proper
dental care services.
Our partnership with Direct Relief USA offered
free flu shots to community clinic and health
center patients who lacked health insurance.
Additionally, CVS Caremark continued to
offer more than $24 million worth of free health
screenings throughout the country as part of the
To Your Health/A Su Salud program.
Annual in-store fundraisers in support of St. Jude
Children’s Research Hospital and ALS research
resulted in corporate contributions exceeding
$10 million.
Our signature CVS Caremark All Kids Can® pro-
gram, which helps children with disabilities “learn,
play, and succeed,” distributed millions in commu-
nity grants and impacted the lives of approximately
6.5 million people. As in previous years, we part-
nered through All Kids Can with many organizations
that focus on childhood autism. Among them, the
Mailman Center at the University of Miami is rated
among the top 10 programs in the United States for
children with neural development disabilities.
CVS Caremark has always had a history of provid-
ing disaster relief to many communities across the
U.S. In 2011, these included areas of Alabama hit
by deadly tornadoes, the tornado victims of Joplin,
Missouri, and New England towns impacted by
Hurricane Irene, among others.
OUR SUPPORT CONTINUES TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

deserving students.
