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.
