You can help
• 23,000 uninsured children in Hampton Roads are estimated to be eligible for free or low cost health insurance but remain uninsured
• Every child deserves health insurance
• There are simple, easy activities that every individual and organization can do to help
Who can help
Anyone can help reach families with uninsured children with a Cover the Uninsured Observance event. Schools, businesses, churches, community organizations, sports leagues, or citizens can all help.
How you can help
CINCH is asking you to Focus on Five to reach 5 families with uninsured children each year. If every partner joins in we can amplify our voice to reach thousands and enroll Every Child by 2010.
When to help
March 22nd — 28th is Cover the Uninsured Week. It is the nation's largest mobilization on behalf of America's 46 million uninsured; however, scheduling your activity outside of this time frame is fine.
