Take along your friends and families to enjoy a day at the park. Playground equipment and basic park amenities will be available for families. Spectators are asked to bring their own seats for their comfort.

Malaria kills 3,000 children a day and takes nearly 1 million lives every year in Africa. It is a preventable and treatable disease, however, poverty impedes access to treatment and bed nets for prevention.
All funds raised during this event will be donated to Malaria No More (www.malarianomore.org)
