Congenital Heart Defect

campaign to increase public awareness of Congenital Heart Defects and
Childhood Heart Disease.

Public Service Announcements
In December 2002, C.H.I.N. produced two public service announcements. The first public service announcement (which was
actually the second one produced) will be distributed to 300 television stations
for broadcast
this spring. The other spot will be distributed at a later date.
Our PSAs could not have been produced without the help of some extraordinary
individuals in the entertainment industry -- Steve Gerbson, Elayne Boosler,
and many others, including C.H.I.N. members Michael Liben and Gerri
Kramer. They have our unending gratitude.
If you have streaming video, you can preview the public service
announcement by clicking on
the links below.

We'd love to hear your opinions: please use the comment form at the bottom of this page
to let us know what you think!
Please note that if you do not have recent versions of the players or
if your machine is more than three years old, the
video may appear choppy, the picture may be missing, or the videos may not
play at all (but it's still worth a try). A link to the current version of each
media player is included
below.

and Baby" |

| If
you have trouble seeing the video, try upgrading to the
latest Windows Media player by clicking the link above. It is normal for the
"faster download" feed to look blurry. You can also try the
downloadable versions by clicking the link below. |
