Auction Napa Valley A Legacy of Giving Sponsored by the NapaValley Vintners and founded in 1981 by a small group of winery owners, including Robert and Margrit Mondavi, AuctionNapaValley become the gold standard for wine auctions and charitable giving. For forty years, the annual June event combined the allure of NapaValley wine, the region’s iconic scenery, vintner hospitality, creative culinary expressions and meaningful philanthropy. And for just as long, the NapaValley Vintners distributed proceeds from Auction NapaValley each year to local nonprofits and strategic initiatives that emphasized prevention and early intervention in the areas of community health and children’s education. Stories of Impact Children's Education Speaking Clearly × Children's Education Community Resources for Children Speaking Clearly At a Napa County childcare center, a little boy named Eduardo appeared to lack age-appropriate expressive language skills. The CRC staff spoke with Eduardo’s parents about options for services; specifically getting his pediatrician to refer him for speech therapy. CRC staff understands the importance of addressing a suspected speech delay, as it can spill over into other areas. Children who don’t get their needs met verbally may resort to physical aggression. Age-appropriate speech also improves social interactions with peers, a strong correlation to kindergarten readiness. Eduardo now receives speech therapy, preparing him for a lifetime of learning. Community Health Health Helps × Community Health Community Health Initiative Napa County Health Helps Peter, a single parent, came to CHI with his son and daughter, who had been insured under his wife’s health insurance policy. His wife, Maria, had recently passed away as a result of cancer, leaving her young children uninsured. One of CHI’s licensed insurance brokers helped the dad enroll the children with no-cost Medi-Cal coverage and connected the family to a pediatrician at OLE Health. Peter’s children now have comprehensive health insurance that covers their healthcare, mental health, dental and vision needs. Community Health Sobering Changes × Community Health Cope Family Center Sobering Changes Heather was raised in a home afflicted with violence and substance abuse and turned to drugs to dull the pain. A homeless drug addict, her hopelessness led to an overdose. When she woke up in the hospital, she learned she was pregnant. The pregnancy was the impetus for her to change both her own life and that of her unborn son. As a result of Heather’s participation in Cope’s home visitation program, she is sober, has her own apartment and is enrolled at Napa Valley College. She is determined to break the cycle of childhood abuse she experienced and to build a brighter future for her son. Community Health A Better Human Being × Community Health Girls on the Run Napa & Solano A Better Human Being After completion of a Girls on the Run program, a mother shared: "My daughter isn't very athletic and hasn’t wanted to play any sport. But getting involved with GOTR changed that. She is now keeping active and having fun at the same time, while making new friends and being a role model to the younger girls. Thanks GOTR for helping my daughter become a better human being." Community Health A New Life × Community Health Queen of the Valley Care Network A New Life When Sal became ill with chronic abdominal pain, he ended up in the ER at Queen of the Valley. Near death, he was subsequently hospitalized before being discharged home. Sal was referred to CARE Network for follow up, which set him up with Meals on Wheels, connected him with OLE Health for his primary and specialist care and got the cost of his medications, running over $300/month, reduced. Sal is now living at home, able to cook his own meals, afford his medications and work part-time as a limo driver. Community Health The First Few Days × Community Health St. Helena Hospital Family Birth Center The First Few Days Susie’s labor in the Family Birth Unit (FBU) was not progressing as much as her OB-GYN would have liked. But within a matter of minutes before a Cesarean was recommended, Susie was able to deliver her beautiful baby girl. Unfortunately, soon after delivery a migraine and other unexpected symptoms persisted, making the first few days as a new mother very difficult. “The nurses in the family birth unit were my saviors,” explained Susie. “If it were not for them allowing me to rest and care for our daughter, I don’t know what we would have done.” The Napa Valley Vintners continues to make giving a part of it's mission, funding local non-profits and making ongoing strategic investments throughout our Napa Valley community.
