Great news!

We raised $3395 in two days!

This is great progress but we still have a long way to go as our goal is to reach $75,000 by this time next week.

In case you missed it, yesterday, The Global Network teamed up with Global Network Ambassador Alyssa Milano,  Tonic.com and IMA World Health to kick off our first campaign of 2011 in support of an LF program in the Orissa state of India; we got off to a good start yesterday, raising $340 in 90 minutes.  The program serves to provide emotional support, home care, and health education to LF patients and their families. These health and education programs allow LF patients to get back on their feet and be empowered to return to work and be productive citizens, contributing to their families and communities.

LF, also known as elephantiasis, affects 120 million people worldwide and this week (April 19-26), we are proud to partner with actress and Global Network Ambassador Alyssa Milano and Tonic.com – an online platform to educate and engage consumers around positive actions – on a social-media driven campaign to raise $75,000 to keep a lymphatic filariasis (LF) program alive in the Indian state of Orissa.

IMA World Health and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have partnered with the

Indian n.g.o CASA on a lymphatic filariasis program in Orissa to care for 23,000 LF patients and work to identify new cases of the disease. The program serves to provide emotional support, home care, and health education to LF patients and their families. These health and education programs allow LF patients to get back on their feet and be empowered to return to work and be productive citizens, contributing to their families and communities.


This program needs $75,000 to continue. The Global Network, Alyssa Milano, and Tonic.com are determined to End the Neglect and raise those funds – now. Together we make a BIG difference.
