Stephen Curry

The NBA's golden boy is Stephen Curry. After winning the Most Valuable Player Award in 2015, just when you thought he couldn't surpass himself, he won it again in 2016 with an unprecedented unanimous vote.

But in between workouts, trips, matches, and Nike advertisements, Curry is working to shield people from malaria by supporting the UN Foundation. In order to generate money for the Nothing But Nets #CallYourShot campaign, which distributes bed nets to individuals in Tanzania, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, Burundi, and South Sudan, he collaborated with the international organization in 2016.

Curry has actually been a supporter of Nothing But Nets ever since he competed at Davidson College as a student-athlete. In a video encouraging colleagues, friends, and supporters to support the fight against malaria, he states, "I've witnessed firsthand that a simple net may save a life."
