'The report reveals how Semb and Bracewell pushed hard for continued contracts with one specific fund-raising company, Vantage Direct Marketing Services. Vantage raised over $46 million between 1999 and 2003 on behalf of SHC with only $2.5 million going to the hospitals.
In other words, if someone donated $100 during these campaigns, $95 was kept by Vantage with only $5 going to the hospitals.
Bracewell admitted to committee and board members that he got at least one free trip from Vantage in 2007.'
