The initial outreach for Nothing But Nets™ was accomplished through former SIcolumnist Rick Reilly's May 5, 2006 column titled "Nothing But Nets" which raised $1.2 million. More than 120,000 bed nets have already been delivered in Nigeria as a result of Reilly’s call to readers who had "ever cut down a net, jumped over a net, watched the New Jersey Nets, worn a hair net, surfed the net, or thought of Angelina Jolie in fishnets" to donate $10 to purchase insecticide-treated nets.

Nothing But Nets™ is a global campaign to save lives by preventing malaria, a leading killer of children in Africa. At Sports Illustrated, we are thrilled to be part of the campaign!
