Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF

I heard on the radio that since Halloween was on a Friday this year it was going to be a much bigger 'adult' holiday this year which I suppose is bad for kids. Which got me thinking, if kids don't trick or treat as much any more, do they even still have Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF?

Well they do and it has gone high tech this year! To kick things off I am going to devote the month of October to fundraising for them and all ad revenue will go to help kids.

Some background on the program, since Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF began 58 years ago, UNICEF has made many friends.

The first friends—a small group of kids in Philadelphia fundraising door to door with milk cartons—probably couldn't have predicted how big their idea would become. Over the years, Trick-or-Treaters have helped connect UNICEF to literally millions of donors, fundraisers, celebrities and partners.

Until the day when no child dies of a preventable cause, we cannot stop. We must spread the word. And that means, we must make new friends.

For the first time ever, we’ve launched both a Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF MySpace page and Facebook Causes. If you use either of these sites, just add them as one of your friends. Then, when you’re writing on someone’s “wall,” or “poking” everyone you know, invite them to add us too, and help spread the word.

Be a friend. Help save lives. It's as simple as that.
