PUBLICITY KIT
The Diabetes stamp will be issued on March 16, 2001 in
Boston, MA, at the Joslin Diabetes Center and will go on
sale nationwide the same day. Unveiling or "second day"
events for the Diabetes stamp can be held any time
throughout the year. (The American Diabetes Association
asks us to remind you that November is National Diabetes
Month!)
Local and national publicity help increase commemorative stamp sales at post offices far beyond the date of issuance. There are many ways to interest local media in
your Diabetes stamp events.
Here are some methods to capture media attention:
The first day of issue event on March 16 will feature top
officials from the Postal Service, the Centers for Disease
Control (CDC), the American Diabetes Association (ADA),
the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International
(JDRF), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Celebrities interested in diabetes will also participate and will be
identified by the featured top officials. The event will be an
all-day symposium and workshop series with diabetes
screening and informational booths. This is expected to receive a lot of media attention and should generate interest
in many towns in the United States.
· The Postal Service is partnering with CDC, ADA,
JDRF, and NIH to help promote and generate awareness about diabetes.
· Because of our partnership with these groups, many
local chapters are willing to help the Postal Service
plan local community Diabetes stamp events.
(Please see "Suggested Participating Organizations
and Contact Information" list in this kit.)
· With hundreds of ADA and JDRF chapters located
throughout the country and their experience with
many national diabetes organizations, individuals,
and private agencies, the Postal Service has anincredible opportunity to help promote diabetes
awareness.
· You are encouraged to start planning diabetes-related events with local chapters of ADA, JDRF,
CDC, and NIH. Your Area Public Affairs and Communications (PA&C) representatives are available and
ready to assist you in planning your events. (See
"Area Public Affairs and Communications Managers"
list in this kit.)
· Look for opportunities to sponsor events with local
clinics, hospitals, and agencies that are affiliated with
our partners.
· Invite employees, local civic leaders, and politicians
who have been touched by diabetes in some wayto help sponsor an event. This could be an eventbuilt around a new medical center, kidney dialysis
center, or hospital program that focuses on diabetes,
or it could be an information day centered on "diabetes awareness."
· A simple Diabetes stamp unveiling in your local post
office lobby is always a great way to generate publicity for the Diabetes stamp as well as to draw attention
to the need for more research to help find a cure.
· Check with local TV stations that may regularly air a
"Health" or "Medical" segment to see if they are interested in covering your event or if they'd consider inviting event participants on the program.
Implement any of these ideas, combine them, or brainstorm with your employees and come up with ideas of your
own. Using the publicity materials in this kit, be sure to publicize each and every event to your local newspaper, radio,
and television stations via press releases, media advisories, and letters to the media. And don't forget to makefollow-up phone calls.
When planning Diabetes stamp events, keep the following suggestions in mind:
· Begin planning immediately.
· Using the list in this kit, check with the nearest ADA,
JDFR, CDC, or NIH contact person to see if they can
participate in a Diabetes stamp event in your city.
· Set a date (anytime after March 16, 2001).
· Secure participants (postal employees whose lives
have been touched by diabetes, local politicians, local medical experts in the field of diabetes, celebrities
interested in diabetes, etc.).
· Order blow-ups of the stamp image, flyers, and other
supplies for the event.
· Prepare the special pictorial cancellation provided in
this kit.
· Secure staging and sound equipment, if applicable.
· Plan signage, including a podium sign and banners.
· Launch a local publicity campaign using the materials
in this kit.
· Draft a sequence-of-events agenda and speakerremarks.
· Plan retail opportunities (booths, bag stuffers, etc.).
· Prepare ceremony programs and invitations.
The Postal Service has authorized a pictorial cancellation design for field use to help spread awareness about the
Diabetes commemorative stamp. Post offices planning
events are encouraged to use the design depicted to the
right of this page. Offices can offer this cancellation through
mail-back service for 60 days.
As a reminder, the Postal Service must endeavor to
make all unusual postmarking services widely known to
collectors through advance publicity to avoid limiting the
availability of these postmarks. Therefore, all pictorial cancellations must be reported to Stamp Development3 weeks prior to local events. Please use the announcement form on the following page to report your use of the
cancellation.
To finalize the Diabetes Station pictorial cancellation art,
insert the date and the city, state, and ZIP Code of the
physical location of your event adjacent to the stamp
image. Refer to the original/unfinished and final art to the
right of this page. Overall dimensions of the pictorial cancellation must not exceed 4 inches horizontally by 2 inches
vertically. Collectors prefer the dimensions 3 1/2 inches by
1 inch.

· There are almost 16 million people in the United
States who have diabetes.
· There are two main types of diabetes: Type I and
Type 2.
· Type 2 is the most common form of the disease, usually occurring after age 45.
· Type 1 usually occurs during childhood oradolescence.
· There are an estimated 500,000 to 1 million people
with Type 1 diabetes in the United States today.
· The risk of developing Type 1 diabetes is higher than
all other severe chronic diseases of childhood.
· Type 1 diabetes tends to run in families.
· There is a higher incidence of Type 1 diabetes in
whites than in other racial groups.
· Type 2 diabetes results from insulin resistance combined with relative insulin deficiency.
· Often Type 2 diabetes can be controlled through losing weight, improved nutrition, and exercise alone, although many people need oral medications and/or
insulin to control their diabetes.
· Of the nearly 16 million Americans with diabetes,
90-95% (14.9 million) have Type 2 diabetes.
· Of these, roughly one-third are unaware they have
the disease.
· People with Type 2 diabetes usually develop the disease after age 45.
· The risk for Type 2 diabetes increases with age.
· Blindness due to diabetic retinopathy.
· Diabetes is the leading cause of new blindness in
people 20-74 years of age.
· Kidney disease due to diabetic nephropathy.
· 10-21% of all people with diabetes develop kidney
disease.
· Heart disease and stroke - people with diabetes are
two to four times more likely to have heart disease or
suffer a stroke.
· Nerve disease and amputations - about 60-70% of
people with diabetes have mild to severe forms of
diabetic nerve damage, which, in severe forms, can
lead to lower limb amputations.
· Each year 56,200 people lose their foot or leg todiabetes.
· Impotence due to diabetic neuropathy or blood vessel blockage.

· 100 million stamps will be printed.
· James Steinberg illustrated the stamp. This is his first
project for the Postal Service.
· Steinberg's acrylic and gouache painting includes
two elements associated with diabetes testing and
research - a microscope and a test tube containing
blood. Featuring the phrase "Know More About Diabetes," the design conveys the importance of diabetes awareness and early detection of the disease.
· The stamp design was unveiled in Beverly Hills, CA,
at the Carousel of Hope Ball, on October 28, 2000, by

joined at the unveiling celebration by hostess Barbara Davis, Chairperson of the Carousel of Hope
Ball, television personality Larry King, actors Sidney
Poitier and Dustin Hoffman, and Olympic Gold Medalist swimmer Gary Hall.
· Approximately 16 million Americans have diabetes,
and one-third of them are unaware of it. The Diabetes

Disease Control, and the National Institutes of
Health.

and it's a tremendous honor for me to represent the United
States Postal Service today as we unveil the design of the
new Diabetes stamp.
The Diabetes stamp continues the Postal Service's long
tradition of community involvement. It is our hope that this
stamp will help raise awareness about the importance of
knowing more about diabetes. That means knowing the
warning signs of this devastating disease and knowing
what the symptoms are.
Diabetes is a deadly disease...a silent killer that afflicts
more than 16 million Americans today. They are your family
and friends. And, unfortunately, there is no cure.
Over the years, our nation's commemorative stampprogram has called attention to a variety of important social
issues.
Stamps highlighting breast cancer research, hospice
care, and adoption have helped stimulate conversation
about these serious topics in communities from coast to
coast.
And, as a trusted public service institution that binds our
nation together, the Postal Service has long been an advocate of research and education for these issues.
This year the Postal Service is very proud to issue this
new Diabetes stamp to help generate awareness aboutthe critical need for continued research and education on
diabetes.
We commend [INSERT NAME OF ORGANIZATIONS/INDIVIDUALS WHO JOINED YOU] for the enormous contributions you have made to help raise awareness about
diabetes.
Of the 16 million Americans with diabetes, roughly one-
third are unaware they have the disease. The Diabetes
stamp serves as a simple reminder that early detection is
crucial.
Together we can make a difference in the lives of thousands of Americans.
Thank you for joining us today.
Now, would [INSERT NAMES OF UNVEILING PARTICIPANTS] join me in unveiling the Diabetes stamp!

Diabetes is a chronic, genetically determined, debilitating disease affecting every organ system.
Insulin is not a cure, merely life support. There are two major types of diabetes: Type I (juvenile)
and Type 2 (adult onset). Anyone at any age can get diabetes, including children. Many people die
or suffer life-threatening health problems because the warning signs are very often missed or mistaken for something else. There is no cure, but there is hope through research.
The Diabetes stamp, designed by artist James Steinberg, includes two elements associated with
diabetes testing and research - a microscope and a test tube containing blood. Featuring the
phrase "Know More About Diabetes," the design conveys the importance of diabetes awareness and
early detection of the disease.

Diabetes stamp events are a perfect opportunity to involve public officials in an important and positive local
event. There is likely to be keen interest on their part, as it
provides elected representatives a chance to interact with
constituents in a friendly, civic setting with secured media
coverage.
You are encouraged to reach out directly to your federal,
state, and local elected officials. Government Relations
representatives are available to assist you in coordinating
political involvement and would be pleased to help in any
way.
This section of the Community Relations Publicity Kit
contains simple guidelines, sample letters, a suggested invitation list, and the names and telephone numbers of your
Government Relations contacts.
Send a written invitation (see sample), 4 to 6 weeks
before the event, to your two U.S. senators, your congressional representatives, the governor of your state, and the
mayor of your community. Please include any other local
elected officials you feel would be appropriate. The local
postmaster should sign the invitations.
Follow up the written invitation with a telephone call to
the elected official's scheduler within a week if you have not
received a reply. You may need to call more than once.
Keep in touch with all elected officials who respond. If
asked, provide updated information to the elected official's
staff as it becomes available (e.g., who else is participating,
where and when to meet, what his or her role will be, etc.).
Stress that remarks should be brief and limited to the unveiling of the Diabetes stamp and recognition of the importance of early detection and knowing the warning signs.
Include names of all participating elected officials on
the official program as honored guests, and mention them
in all media advisories, if applicable.
Provide a courtesy copy of the program to the elected
officials in advance.
Send a written thank you to all elected officials who
participated in the ceremony, expressing your appreciation.
Provide copies to their offices of any newspaper articles about the event. Even though they surely will see
those articles on their own, you can take the opportunity to
remind them of the press coverage the event received.
Provide a supply of extra cachets with the special
cancellation, if applicable, to elected officials, even to those
who could not attend. These make great giveaways and
serve as a positive reminder of the event.
Obtain and frame a photo of the elected official posing
beside the stamp image and make an appointment to present it in person, if possible. A matted, well-framed
photograph stands a good chance of being hung on the
wall of the official's office, again serving as a positive reminder of the event.
Keep in touch with your elected officials. Good relationships are built over time.
Before the event:

[INSERT NAME OF ORGANIZATION]
[INSERT ADDRESS]
[INSERT CITY, STATE, ZIP+4]
Dear [INSERT TITLE AND NAME]:
Employees of the [INSERT NAME] Post Office invite you to be an honored guest at a special unveiling
ceremony on [INSERT DATE] at [INSERT TIME] when the United States Postal Service unveils the
Diabetes commemorative stamp.
The Diabetes stamp serves as a reminder to everyone to know the warning signs of this disease and
to encourage early detection. It is our hope that this stamp will help raise awareness about how
devastating this disease is and that there is still no cure.
With the issuance of the Diabetes stamp, the Postal Service continues its long-standing tradition of
raising awareness of social issues. Stamps such as Breast Cancer Research, Adoption, Hospice Care,
and Organ and Tissue Donation have helped stimulate conversation about these serious topics in
communities from coast to coast. These activities go hand in hand with the Postal Service's historic role
as a community leader.
At the stamp unveiling ceremony, you will be invited to say a few words about the stamp and [INSERT
SPECIFICS - OFFICIAL MAY WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW DIABETES HAS TOUCHED HIS/HER
LIFE]. We expect significant press coverage of the unveiling ceremony and a good size crowd, including
families and civic organizations.
We hope you will join us to recognize this important social issue. Please confirm your participation by
calling [INSERT NAME OF CONTACT] at [INSERT TELEPHONE NUMBER] as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
[SIGN]
[INSERT POSTMASTER'S NAME]

events - or any special civic event - please let us know.
