MALARIA NO MORE


Our Senior Peer Mentors are known as the "F.A.M.I.L.Y." This is an acronym for "Forget About Me, I Love You". They live by the BA rule, "Whatever helps my sister, helps us all." The FAMILY realizes our world's needs are great and they say they are up for the challenge!

Fighting malaria in Africa is one of the key issues on the United Nations Agenda. The World Soccer Players have heard the cry and are doing something to eradicate malaria. They will be speaking out and raising money at the World Cup Games in June. We are joining our voices with theirs by raising money through the purchase of mosquito nets and anti-malaria medicine. It is a two-punch solution by purchasing African bracelets to support the businesses of the African families and donating money raised from the sharing of the bracelets. At BA, we have the passion and the commitment to join Malaria No More and try to eradicate this preventable disease.
