Night of Nets...to end Malaria

There's a disease in Africa that kills even more children than AIDS. The infection begins with a mosquito bite. Malaria kills 2,000 children a day...even though malaria is preventable. No child should die from a mosquito bite. We can all do something to end malaria.
Come to "Night of the Nets" to find out...




Joins us as we spend Friday night under the stars at Owl's Head Park to raise awareness about the deadly spread of malaria. We will be showing the movie, "When the Night Comes." At the event, there will be free refreshments, activities for children before the movie begins at dusk, and information on easy ways to help stop the spread of malaria.

Invite friends, family, neighbors, etc. as we partner up with World Vision to end malaria.
Donations will be accepted for World Vision at the event. A donation of only $6 can purchase a bed net to save someone's life from malaria spread by mosquitoes in malaria-endemic countries.
