Gift of Life
Fund A Cause

This item will literally give the gift of a child��s life, over and over again.

This GE Giraffe baby incubator is the most advanced micro-environment available today. It creates an unsurpassed healing environment for intensively ill infants.

Incubators like this are critical for newborns, and particularly for premature babies who need special care and attention. An incubator like this often means -- literally -- the difference between life and death.

With this, we can save babies born as young as 22 weeks. That��s more than four months premature.

With this, we can save babies that only weigh 16 ounces at birth.

With this, babies have a place to stay until they can maintain their own temperature and can handle the stimulation of the hospital.

With this, we can help caring doctors and nurses, give the gift of a child��s life, over and over again.

We are hoping to purchase this for the hospital with the help of auction donors.

The texture has a mid-palate acidity with long, silky tannins on the finish.
- One 750ml bottle of 1983 Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine has a ruby to brickred color, a fragrance that resembles stewed cherries and coffee with a hint of cedar and chocolate, and an elegant robe with a long, satisfying finish.
- One 750 ml bottle of 1982 Heitz Cellar Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Powerful and concentrated with a well-balanced texture that exhibits depth and elegance, this cab��s fragrance and flavor subtly express mint and chocolate.
- Two bottles of 1987 Marilyn Merlot. Like its namesake, this red varietal has great legs and full body that back up its Hollywood image and her Napa roots. The 1987 edition was made from Merlot grown in the Aude region of southern France.
