INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Prior their concert at the Verizon Wireless Center, the Jonas Brothers held a press conference at the Conrad Hotel to discuss their charitable work.

In the 15-minute conference, the Jonas Brothers announced their partnership with the U.N. Foundation, Nothing But Nets, a campaign to combat malaria in Africa by providing nets to shield children from mosquitoes. The brothers donated $10,000 to the group from their foundation.

Along with several other media organizations, Y-Press participated in a Q&A session with the Jonas Brothers about their Change for the Children Foundation (www.changeforthechildren.org) and Nick's diabetes.
