PLEASE HELP US END MALARIA

Hey there,

If you’ve been following us the past couple of years, you’ll know that we have been working with Nothing But Nets and that putting an end to malaria is a cause that is close to our hearts. In 2013, we were in Rwanda and saw first hand what malaria can do to a community and how easily this can be prevented by using mosquito nets. 

To continue our fight against malaria, we made an exclusive song in the studio this year and this is the only place you can get it right now. Pretty great, right?  Even better — it’s a cover of “Fisherman’s Blues” by The Waterboys which we’ve been playing on the road a lot this year. The money raised will protect refugees from malaria with the UN Foundation and Nothing But Nets.

From now until August 20th, if you donate any amount to Nothing But Nets, you’ll get a download of the song. For just $10, you can  send an insecticide-treated bed net to protect a family and save a life.

We can’t reiterate enough how important this is. Thank you!
