The Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF campaign was started by kids 58 years ago. Since then, children in the U.S. have collected over $140 million to help save and improve the lives of their peers in the developing world. Every dollar raised has allowed UNICEF to fund programs that enable children everywhere to have access to nutritious food, vaccines against preventable childhood diseases and the ability to attend school—luxuries we ordinarily take for granted.
For the 2008 campaign, we encouraged our volunteers to get involved by: hosting a Halloween party, using our new "Text-to-Treat" mobile technology, purchasing t-shirts and sweatshirts, and sharing pictures online on Flickr. We are happy to announce that over 625 of you registered to host parties, Text-to-Treat raised over $2,100, the Trick-or-Treat shop rasied at least $2,000, and many of our volunteers shared their photos!
A special thanks to all our volunteers for your efforts and for participating in the 2008 Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF campaign.
