No plans this weekend? Throw a party to save lives! 
Gather your friends to watch the HBO premiere of Mary and Martha, a dramatic story about two courageous women. The movie stars Oscar winner Hilary Swank and Oscar nominee Brenda Blethyn.

The TV drama is about two moms – one in Africa and one in the United States – whose lives become intertwined as they face the same reality: malaria kills both of their sons.

Offer guests a “night on the town” in front of your TV. Not only will it be an entertaining opportunity for friends to sample your best party recipes; you may also open eyes to the human pain and suffering caused by this preventable disease.

Movie watchers can join the cause and donate $10 to Imagine No Malaria by texting ‘MOM’ to 27722.

“Mary and Martha” premieres Saturday, April 20, at 8 p.m. EDT on HBO. (It is also scheduled to air Sunday, April 21, at 12:45 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. and Tuesday, April 23, at 10 a.m. Check local listings for your time zone.)
