Start planning and promoting activities for Cover the Uninsured Week 2007, April 23-29, now?with help from our newly updated planning guides!

This year, Cover the Uninsured Week comes at a critical juncture in the health coverage debate: After 10 years, the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) is up for reauthorization in Congress. Our nation’s leaders have the opportunity to provide funding to cover the children currently enrolled in SCHIP and expand the program to cover millions more children in need of health coverage. As a result, Cover the Uninsured Week 2007 will focus on the importance of children’s health coverage and the success of SCHIP.

To help you promote the importance and availability of SCHIP, the following guides are now available at http://www.CoverTheUninsured.org/materials:

* Health and Enrollment Fair Planning Guide
* Guide to Working with the Media
* Guide to Editorial Placement
* Campus Event Planning Guide

Coming next: What you can do to support getting America’s children covered even before Cover the Uninsured Week.

Additional Cover the Uninsured Week 2007 materials will be posted in the coming weeks.

Let’s get America’s kids covered!
