Fans of "24" can bid online at eBay for five pairs of tickets to the exclusive "24: Redemption" VIP premiere. The package includes preferred seating and the opportunity for a once-in-a-lifetime meet-and-greet with "24" star Kiefer Sutherland. All proceeds will support Malaria No More's work to end malaria deaths. Bid online at www.MalariaNoMore.org/24.
"24:Redemption" was filmed in South Africa, where cast and crew got a first-hand view of life in Sub-Saharan Africa. They learned how malaria affects people across the continent, including by stalling economic growth and development, overwhelming hospitals and taking the life of a child every 45 seconds. Kiefer Sutherland filmed a PSA for Malaria No More while on location, urging viewers to help end malaria deaths by donating simple $10 mosquito nets to protect children from malaria-carrying mosquitoes. The PSA will air during the "24: Redemption" broadcast.
