(Akron, Ohio) What do the people of Green Valley United Methodist Church, the United Nations Foundation, the National Basketball Association’s NBA Cares, Sports Illustrated and VH-1 have in common? The desire to fight one of the world’s most preventable diseases: malaria. And it’s happening through a campaign called Nothing But Nets, that’s designed specifically for you!

Nothing But Nets is aglobal grassroots campaign to save lives by preventing malaria, a leading killer of children in Africa. Malaria claims more than a million lives every year, mostly children. The good news is that malaria can be prevented by sleeping under an insecticide-treated bed net. Bed nets are an important tool in fighting malaria because they create a barrier against mosquitoes at night, when most transmission occurs. Just one bed net can keep an entire family safe from malaria transmission for up to four years!

Your entry fee goes directly toward the purchase, distribution, and education about the proper use of an insecticide-treated bed net. And what’s more, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will match each donation, net for net. Most people in sub-Saharan Africa live on less than $1 a day and cannot afford a life-saving bed net.
