What is the OSA World Juggle-a-thon?
Every 45 seconds a child in Africa dies from malaria—a preventable disease carried by mosquitoes.  We can help. This is why we created the OSA World Juggle-a-thon, a worldwide fundraiser put on by OnlineSoccerAcademy.com to support the Nothing But Nets campaign.  Nothing But Nets is a global, grassroots campaign to save lives by preventing malaria, a leading killer of children in Africa. Through this campaign, anyone can donate just $10 to purchase a bed net, deliver it to a family, and educate them on its proper use.

On World Malaria Day—April 25—at 6pm At WRAL Soccer Center, soccer players, coaches, and fans are invited to participate by juggling to raise money for life-saving nets. Anyone can juggle anywhere; by themselves, with friends, teams, or soccer clubs. Participants will collect donations and pledges leading up to the OSA World Juggle-a-thon, and then juggle as much as they can on April 25.  After the event, jugglers will mail in the money they raised, and receive an official OSA World Juggle-a-thon t-shirt and other goodies.  The goal is simple – for each juggler to raise at least $30, to send at least three bed nets to protect families from malaria.  Working together through soccer, we can help protect entire communities from this deadly disease.  Juggle to get better.  Juggle to save lives.
