NEW YORK, Aug. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Malaria No More, an organization working to raise awareness and galvanize support to address the global fight against malaria, announced today it has appointed Scott Case to the post of Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Mr. Case, who played a central role in the launch of Malaria No More in December 2006, has served as interim CEO since April 2008.

partnership with FC Barcelona and American Youth Soccer Organization.
