By joining the 2005 Summits For Survival team, your gift will go a long way toward helping us reach our goal of a future where all babies survive and thrive. Pledges can be made in honor of a special person, event or accomplishment or in memory of a loved one. Ideas include:

	Celebrating your healthy baby’s first birthday or other milestone;
	Commemorating a special event in a family member’s life, such as graduation, marriage, first baby or other significant accomplishment;
	Memorializing the life of your precious baby or other beloved individual.

Your gift will help ensure the availability of nationally funded research projects that will shed light on causes and/or cures for SIDS, Stillbirth and other causes of infant death; public and professional educational programs that deliver lifesaving messages to parents and caregivers, and; compassionate bereavement support services for those experiencing an infant death.

Second in a series of climbs to conquer the Seven Summits of the World, the 2005 climb of Mt. McKinley will be led by world-renowned mountain climber, Vern Tejas and a team of international climbers. Upon reaching the 20,300 foot summit, the team will celebrate by displaying a First Candle banner and dedicating a memory book of names submitted by surviving family members – in hopes that someday no family will experience the death of a precious child much too soon.

We hope that everyone who has been touched by the life of a child will make the Summits campaign a part of their annual gift-giving efforts through the end of the campaign in 2010.
