I'm excited to announce that UNICEF has just launched a new partnership with the Association of College Unions International (ACUI) and the George Harrison Fund for UNICEF to promote a fundraising challenge on college campuses across America. The Help Us Save Some Lives Campus Challenge runs from September 5, 2008 to February 28, 2009.
In 1971, George Harrison helped organize two concerts at Madison Square Garden, which raised over $15 million for the impoverished Bangladeshi people. By participating in the Campus Challenge, college students honor his legacy and show their committment to helping save some lives!
The Campus Challenge encourages students to raise awareness and funds to save children around the world. The college campus that raises the most funds postmarked by February 28, 2009 will host a celebrity UNICEF supporter, who will address students on campus. Visit our Campus Challenge website for more information about how you can get involved.
And if you are a member of the UNICEF Campus Initiative, get your campus club to join today!
