Malaria No More
Malaria No More's mission is simple: to eliminate malaria as a serious public health issue through the provision of bed nets and other critical interventions for families in need. Led by Board of Directors Co-Chairman Raymond Chambers and Peter Chernin, Malaria No More brings together a remarkable group of private sector and NGO leaders committed to ending malaria.
The White House Commitment
During Malaria No More's launch at the White House Malaria Summit, President Bush and First Lady Laura Bush welcomed Malaria No More's participation in the fight against malaria. Malaria No More continues to work closely with the White House and the President's Malaria Initiative to promote broader awareness about the disease, and generate investment in malaria control programs.
American Idol
On April 24-25th, Fox's American Idol hosted its charity special, "Idol Gives Back." The event raised an astounding $70 million for eight organizations including Malaria No More and our partner Nothing But Nets, demonstrating the public's strong desire to support real solutions to the world's most urgent problems. The show also provided direct acknowledgement of ExxonMobil's matching grant program with Malaria No More.
In the Media
From its inception, Malaria No More has been both a driver and recipient of the growing media spotlight on malaria, garnering extensive national and local coverage. Understanding the importance of building awareness as a means to generating public engagement, Malaria No More continues to seek out high-visibility media opportunities.
Celebrity Endorsements
Recognizing the power of celebrity endorsements to capture media attention and mobilize domestic audience support, Malaria No More actively recruits new celebrity spokespeople to bolster its efforts. To date, Malaria No More has received endorsements from David Beckham, Ashley Judd, Kal Penn, and Isaiah Washington.
In the Field
