Madness Against Malaria: Senegal - A minibus stacked full with bed nets.
For the second year in a row, BUSPH Rotaract members
captured the Madness Against Malaria fundraising tournament, besting 112 teams

Skeeter Beater Repeaters, the BUSPH team raised $8,500, enough to buy 1700
insecticide-treated bed nets.
Altogether, the Madness Against Malaria effort, including
the tournament which ran from March 15 through June 20, raised $149,526 for the
purchase of 29,905 bed nets. All proceeds of the competition go to purchasing $5 bed nets, which are distributed in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean.
