How can I or my school/group participate in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF?
Join The Original Kids Helping Kids® campaign, Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF, and help save children's lives! Together with your school, neighborhood, or family, you can design and run your own fundraising campaign this Halloween. Every dollar you raise for UNICEF will help give kids around the world the basic things they need to survive and grow. It's easy! Just follow these steps:
-
ORDER you or your school/group's free Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF Kit by visiting www.unicefusa.org/trickortreat or calling 1.800.4UNICEF (please allow 5-10 business days for delivery). The kit includes orange collection boxes and fundraising resources—like a DVD that shows how UNICEF makes a difference for children around the world, reward stickers, posters, door hangers, and education materials (for Grades K-6)—everything you need to participate in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF this fall.
Once your order ships, you will receive a confirmation email with tracking information. Boxes are also available at Hallmark Gold Crown® stores starting September 10th and any Pier 1 Imports® store starting September 24th. To find a store near you or your school/group, visit www.unicefusa.org/trickortreat.
We will be taking orders until October 30 at noon (EST) but can only guarantee delivery by Halloween if you or your school/groups order is received by October 25. However, for orders received after October 25, we will make every effort to try to get you or your school/group materials by Halloween day.
