BzzzTour is a partnership between the United Nations Foundation/Nothing But Nets and the United States Junior Chamber/JCI USA designed to accomplish three key objectives.- Fundraising - Raise $200,000 among JCI USA members by the end of 2013
- Awareness – Raise awareness of malaria issues worldwide and what we in the USA can do about it.
- Advocacy – Encourage US Senators and US Congress members to support the President’s Anti Malaria Initiative, The Global Fund and to participate in the Malaria Caucus. By doing so we aim to increase the visibility of Jaycee chapters in the eyes of elected officials, paving the way for future cooperation between chapters and elected officials.
The major rallying point of Buzzkill 2013 is a summer tour, whereby JCI USA President Chrystal Ramsay-Dyess and others will visit 85 chapters over 71 days, promoting the objectives of Buzzkill 2013. The tour commences on June 10 in Minneapolis and concludes on August 15th in Florida. The tour will include media interviews, elected official visits, and appearances at community gatherings and chapter events.
Together, we will ignite discussion, raise awareness, rally our communities and chapters, and help drive positive action around Nothing But Nets and the need to eradicate malaria world-wide in our lifetime.
