First Lady Laura Bush praised "Madness Against Malaria" at the White House Summit on Malaria on December 14, 2006:

 Concerned citizens can harness the potential of the Internet to launch creative fundraising campaigns. One group, Madness Against Malaria, established an online "March Madness" fundraising tournament. Sixty-four  teams from around the world compete to see who can accumulate the most online donations. The team that buys the most bed nets wins the Malaria Cup trophy -- and saves thousands of lives.

You can read the First Lady's full remarks here, and the full Summit Webcast is also available online.

We hope that the First Lady's comments will help participants raise awareness of the event and encourage others to get involved.
