A Partnership to Eliminate Malaria with Elaine Gibbons and Neal Myrick

Malaria exists in 103 countries worldwide, affecting 3.3. billion people, but about 90% of malaria-related deaths occur in Sub-Saharan Africa. The majority of those affected are children under the age of five.   In the US, about 1,500 cases of malaria are found every year.  PATH is a nonprofit creating vaccines, finding treatments, inventing faster diagnostic tools, piloting new approaches, and putting data to work in completely new ways to prevent and stop outbreaks of malaria.   We will hear from Elaine Gibbons, Vice President of Global Engagement and Communications with PATH, as well as Neal Myrick, Global Head of Tableau Foundation, as they discuss lessons learned from the collaboration to address and help eliminate one of the world’s deadliest diseases.

Join us on December 18th at the Sheraton for a very special holiday celebration! Ring in the holiday season starting at 11:00 am with a cocktail (or two) and caroling with the Rotary Rogues. Then experience a unique Rotary lunch starting at 12:00 pm with your fellow Rotarians and their families and some world-class circus performers in an interactive and entertaining program brought to you by the people behind the amazing Teatro Zinzanni.

As always, you’ll be on your way by 1:30pm, but not without a memorable experience to cherish and share with friends and family. Don’t miss it!
