Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF
You don't need to be a kid, just a kid at heart to participate in
Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF with your family, friends, and neighbors
and help raise funds that will directly impact the lives of children
all over the world. For more than 60 years, Trick-or-Treat for
UNICEF has served as the original Kids-Helping-Kids campaign and has
raised millions of dollars for UNICEF’s lifesaving programs. You can
help fundraise by collecting donations in the Trick-or-Treat for
UNICEF collection boxes, throwing a costume party, or creating your
own fundraising page online. For more information, visit
www.TrickorTreatforUNICEF.org.
Partner Spotlight: INMED Partnerships for Children
INMED Partnerships for Children rescues children from the immediate
and irreversible harm of disease, hunger, abuse, neglect, or
violence, and prepares them to shape a brighter future for
themselves and the next generation. This month, be sure to include
INMED in your GFWC Advocates for Children Week plans. Purchase an
INMED lapel pin to show your support for children everywhere. To
purchase a pin, visit INMED’s donation page. Be sure to select “Buy
a pin, change a life” from the drop-down menu under Program Area
when filling out your form. Clubs can also join the Face the
Challenge Campaign. Pick a challenge, mobilize your club, and raise
money and awareness to bring urgently needed solutions to vulnerable
children.
Visit www.INMED.org/Face-the-Challenge for more information.
Participating clubs will be recognized on INMED’s website and may be eligible to receive a national award at the 2013 GFWC Annual Convention.
