Team Coco Gets Behind World Malaria Day [VIDEO]

Conan O'Brien is joining the illustrious team of do-gooders trying to put a stop to malaria. The video features comedians Sarah Silverman, Elizabeth Banks and cast members from The Office all raising awareness for Malaria No More, a non-profit that aims to end malaria deaths in Africa -- where a child dies from the disease every 45 seconds -- by 2015.

Malaria has always been a serious problem but the cause has received some serious support in recent years. Bill Gates made malaria eradication a top priority in his foundation's annual letter, and celebrities from all walks of life have joined the cause.

The video could not be timed any better as today, April 25, is World Malaria Day. Several organizations besides Malaria No More have joined the fight, including Roll Back Malaria, WorldMalariaDay.org, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the U.N.'s World Health Organization.
