Step 2: Invite your family, friends, neighbors and colleagues

Gather the names of anyone you know who might be interested in supporting UNICEF's Child Survival campaign and let them know about your event.

Encourage those you invite to bring a guest who also wants to learn more about UNICEF and important global issues facing children.

Ask your guests to complete the sign-in sheet (PDF, 46K) and introduce themselves to other participants.
