Beneath sunny skies at the US Navy Memorial - one of the most highly-trafficked areas in Washington, DC - Nothing But Nets and local partners kicked off the DC City Tour yesterday with an awesome announcement: the city of DC is committing to raising funds to send 10,000 bed nets to refugees in Africa through our campaign and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR).

Marc Koehler, managing director of the Beach Soccer Championships and member of Life Thru Sports also made sure the kids at the event were taught the importance of giving back to their communities.

It’s time for another Nothing But Nets City Tour – our 16th – and we’re not traveling far from home this time. From June 13-23, we’ll be hosting events in our nation’s capital – Washington, DC.

After a great deal of research and inspiration, I ran across nbnold.pub30.convio.net, a campaign of the United Nations Foundation that distributes bed nets in Africa using the money that the public donates.

As some of you may already know, my daughter Katherine Commale is a champion NET-Raiser for Nothing But Nets. She began fundraising at the mere age of five, and now at 8-years-old, Katherine has raised more than $93,000.
