Last day to play and send a net without opening your wallet!

Nothing But Nets

The UN Foundation has been working with the UN to fight malaria for years. But it was a column that Rick Reilly wrote about malaria in Sports Illustrated--and thousands of letters and donations from people like you--that led to the creation the Nothing But Nets campaign.

The reaction to Reilly's 815 words made clear that thousands of people were ready to help the million children dying unnecessarily each year of malaria. And so Nothing But Nets was born.

Already, groups as diverse as the NBA and the United Methodist Church have joined the campaign. Now, we're asking you to help spread the word about Nothing But Nets, and how easy it is to protect children from malaria with bednets.

You can save a family. Your church, school, or team can save a village. Together, we can cover Africa with lifesaving bednets.

Last day to play and send a net without opening your wallet!

Submitted by Jenna Sauber on April 30, 2008

As you might have seen on previous posts, World Malaria Day was an enormous success with our supporters, partners, and team at the United Nations Foundation, the UN and Nothing But Nets. Thousands of people across the country played our game, Deliver the Net, to have a bed net sent on their behalf to Africa thanks to our generous sponsor, Vestergaard Frandsen.

But the game isn’t over yet! You still have today to play if you haven’t already and to send the game to your friends, family, neighbors, classmates, colleagues or whoever. Remember, it’s so easy to play and win with this game because you’re saving a life at the same time.

So take a minute today and play to send nets and save lives before it’s too late.
