World Malaria Day Events at MSU

Friday, April 25 is World Malaria Day. A new student group at MSU, Students Take On Malaria Prevention (STOMP), has done a great job of organizing events very quickly.

On April 25, the group will have a table set up from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. between North Kedzie and the Natural Science Building (look for the giant banner). The display will feature information on malaria, Ned Walker's research, the MSU Nothing But Nets campaign, as well as bunk beds with a bed net on them. There will also be a basketball hoop set up. Students (and anyone else who wants to) can donate $1 to shoot hoops and win a Nothing But Nets Buzz Kill arm band. The group also will be selling Buzz Kill t-shirts. All proceeds go to the MSU Nothing But Nets campaign.

So stop on buy, shoot some hoops and buy a t-shirt. It should be a lot of fun.
