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.
