We kicked off August with a social networking contest. We asked you to spread the word about malaria to your NET-works and because of you, we reached our goal!

Annika Snow was about to celebrate her 8th birthday. After learning about Nothing But Nets from her Methodist church and then again from me at our WNBA game earlier this season, she decided to re-gift her birthday presents to provide bed nets for children in Africa.

A couple weeks ago in California, Stephanie Rodriguez, Operations Manager for Orkin, Inc., joined Nothing But Nets at our public rally in San Francisco during our city tour, and then invited us to meet her team in Hayward.

For his seventh birthday this summer, Nothing But Nets supporter Amon celebrated with 12 of his closest friends by hosting a NET-Raiser party. In lieu of birthday presents, the birthday boy asked each of his guests to donate $10 to send a life-saving bed net.

Amon’s mom, Svea, said the party was a great success and the kids loved learning about malaria and how easy it was to help save children from the disease. Svea says, “I am very proud of my son to give up gifts for himself and help such a worthy cause! We raised money for 14 bed nets, and next year we plan to do the same thing!
