For Halloween, be a Do-Gooder!
Even if your little ones are dressed like the Grim Reaper or a whiny princess, there is no reason why you can have them do some good.
UNICEF, the global organization that saves lives in 150 countries by providing clean water, nutrition, medicines, education and emergency aid, makes it quite turn-key for us parents. Here are some of the easy things you can do:
1. Collect Donations while Trick-or-Treating.
There’s the famous orange UNICEF box. Make your own by downloading a canister wrapper or picking up a box at one of their retail partners.
2. Turn your Halloween Party into a fundraiser.
When you register your party at UNICEF you can download their Halloween Party Guide and other items, such as invitations, door signs, door hangers, canister wrappers and stickers. All the things you need to throw a spooktacular fundraiser.
3. Text-or-Treat this Year!
Aren’t we all going green AND on our mobile phones? Well we love UNICEF’s Text-or-Treat idea. This year—for the first time—you can Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF with your mobile phone! Just text the word “TOT” to 864233 (UNICEF) to make a $5 donation.*
Have a happy and safe Halloween, you do-gooder!
