Fuskie's 2007 Trick or Treat for UNICEF

For Every Child
Health Education, Equality, Protection
ADVANCE HUMANITY

 

A Note from UNICEF

Last Halloween,  Trick or Treat for UNICEF collected nearly $5 million, helping not only children around the world, but in our own backyard as victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Since the 1950's when a handful of kids in Philadelphia raised $17, millions of American kids, schools, parents and partner organizations have raised more than $132,000,000 through the Trick or Treat for UNICEF campaign. 

UNICEF still needs your help to fund programs that provide education, immunization, nutrition, clean water, health care, protection and emergency relief for children and their families.

A Note About UNICEF

UNICEF works in 155 countries and territories, helping to save, protect and improve the lives of children around the world through immunization, education, health care, nutrition, clean water and sanitation.

UNICEF works to ensure that:

  • Every child has a chance at survival.

  • Every child is fully immunized.

  • Every child receives a primary education.

  • Every child is protected from harm, abuse and violence, both times of peace, conflict and emergency.

  • Every young adult has reliable information on HIV/AIDS prevention.

UNICEF's life saving programs are funded entirely by your voluntary contributions, so please give generously!

Children cannot wait. Even a short crisis can have deep effects on them. I therefore ask you to help UNICEF increase its support to children in emergencies. We can’t leave our future behind.
