About Nothing But Nets
Nothing But Nets is a global, grassroots campaign to save lives by preventing malaria, a leading killer of children in Africa. Inspired by Sports Illustrated columnist Rick Reilly,
thousands of people have joined the campaign that was created by the United Nations Foundation. Founding campaign partners include the National Basketball Association's NBA Cares, the
people of The United Methodist Church, and Sports Illustrated. Other partners include VH1, The Mark J. Gordon Foundation, AOL Black Voices, Major League Soccer's MLS W.O.R.K.S., the
Wasserman Foundation, the Women's National Basketball Association's WNBA Cares, and Rotarians' Action Group on Malaria. It costs only $10 to provide an insecticide-treated bed net that
can prevent this deadly disease. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation matches individual donations dollar for dollar. Visit www.unfoundation.org.
