Snowflake

Los Angeles UNICEF Snowflake Ball

On December 6, 2007, the U.S. Fund for UNICEF will host its second Beverly Hills Snowflake Ball at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills. The evening is co-chaired by Mrs. Ghada Irani and Mrs. Sharon Davis.

At this year's gala, we are honored to present the Danny Kaye Humanitarian Award, named for the first UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, to Tamar and Bob Manoukian, exceptional individuals who have used their influence as a force for the survival, protection and development of women and children worldwide.  Trudie Styler, UNICEF United Kingdom Ambassador, accepted this award in 2005.

We will also present the Champion for Children Award to Idol Gives Back—the American Idol campaign that raised over $75 million in two days to deliver health and education resources for children in extreme poverty in the U.S. and Africa. In 2005, this award was presented to Les Moonves, President and CEO of CBS Corporation.

Volunteer Opportunities

Since 1947, when a small group of committed citizens founded the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, volunteers have played a vital role in helping us change the world for the better. Today, volunteers are essential to the Southern California Regional Office's success in fundraising, education and advocacy. Join us today!

Internships

College students assist with administrative and research projects at the Los Angeles office. Often, interns assist with special events and are given a specific project within a designated program. Internships are offered quarterly and may be done for college credit. For more information, contact Miesha Cowart, Development Coordinator at 310.277.7608 or mcowart@unicefusa.org.

Office Volunteers

Volunteers at the Los Angeles regional office assist with clerical projects, including filing, mailings and data entry. Scheduling is flexible and project durations vary. For more information, contact Miesha Cowart, Development Coordinator at 310.277.7608 or mcowart@unicefusa.org.

Giving Circles

Giving Circles enable busy adults to get involved in fun events that raise money and educate their friends and families about UNICEF. Giving Circle members pool their resources, creativity and networks to design their own fundraising events. Each member pledges to contribute or raise a specified amount of money for UNICEF within a nine-month to twelve-month period. Giving Circle activities have included art shows, wine-tasting and spa parties, concerts, nightclub events and community festivals. To learn more, contact Miesha Cowart, Development Coordinator at 310.277.7608 or mcowart@unicefusa.org.
