I am an educator, how can my class participate in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF?
Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF has garnered the support of national educational organizations, and is the perfect tool for teachers looking to achieve their academic and service-learning goals. With free classroom resources, Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF will empower your students through awareness and action to become informed and caring citizens of the world. Just follow these easy steps:
-
ORDER your class' 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 we received your order by October 25. However, for orders received after October 25, we will make every effort to try to get your class' materials to you by Halloween Day.
