Fieldnotes: Blogging on UNICEF's child survival work in the field

Although volunteers come in all ages, our registered grassroots volunteers (over 15,000 in number) are a bit older than the average Trick-or-Treater for UNICEF. We have heard that they remember Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF fondly, so we wanted to come up with ways that kids and adults of all ages can support UNICEF at Halloween.

We’re asking our volunteers to host a Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF Halloween Party, a great way to gather friends, family and colleagues to celebrate Halloween, learn more about UNICEF and raise funds for the Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF campaign.

We’re also asking folks to register their parties. Once registered, you will receive an email giving you access to downloadable invitations, stickers, a party planning guide and other resources. And if you are one of the first 100 to register your party, we’ll send you a Halloween Party Kit full of goodies! The kit includes a Halloween Party Guide, stickers, door hangers, our trademark orange collection boxes, Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF branded cups and plates and door signs—all the things you need to throw a "spooktacular" party!

If you are a registered volunteer, consider hosting a party this Halloween. And if you are not a registered volunteer, sign up today, and invite your friends to join you!

We also love to get pictures from you of your UNICEF Volunteer activities. Send any photos you'd like to share to volunteer@unicefusa.org.
