Laughter is the Best Medicine: Comedy Unites to Combat Malaria
Imagine a world where laughter and entertainment come together to make a real difference in the fight against a deadly disease. That’s exactly what’s happening with the innovative campaign, “Malarious,” a collaboration between CollegeHumor and non-profit organization Malaria No More.
A Star-Studded Lineup for a Noble Cause
More than 30 celebrities, including Ed Helms, Kenan Thompson, and “Weird Al” Yankovic, have joined forces to support Malaria No More’s mission to eliminate malaria-related deaths in Africa by 2015. But this time, it’s not just about raising awareness – it’s about taking action.
The Power of Comedy
To access the hilarious videos featuring these celebrities, users must make a small donation of at least $1. Every contribution goes directly towards treating children with malaria or preventing the disease from spreading further. According to Malaria No More, malaria claimed the lives of 655,000 people in 2010, with the majority being children under the age of five.
A Glimpse into the Fun
While we can’t reveal too much about the videos, we can tease that Elizabeth Banks gets a pie in the face. The “Malarious” campaign is a unique way to lift spirits and save lives, proving that comedy can be a powerful tool in the fight against malaria.
