A measles vaccine costs 15 cents, yet nearly 675 infants die of measles every day.5 Some 26 million children per year under the age of five are not immunized with simple, inexpensive vaccines most of us take for granted.6 The number of women at risk of death during childbirth in low-income countries compared with wealthy ones is 500 to one.7 Tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, diarrheal diseases and childhood pneumonia, complications of pregnancy and neonatal deaths - each partially preventable with vaccines or treatable or manageable with therapeutics available in rich nations - cause 29% of all deaths in low- and middle-income countries.

Professional sports teams in North America are privately held corporations. Consequently, they are not required to make audited financial statements publicly available.
