Ringing the NYSE bell

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.

Ted Turner, Rick Reilly and the mosquito just rang the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) closing bell. That closes the first annual World Malaria Day ever! The NYSE floor was crazy and everyone loved the mosquito- just as we had hoped.

So even though the bell has rung, our efforts at Nothing But Nets aren't over. Keep on sending nets and saving lives!
