A message from UNICEF Ambassador Alyssa Milano

I blogged a few weeks back about the “Help us save some lives!” Campus Challenge.

UNICEF has partnered with the Association of College Unions International (ACUI) and the George Harrison Fund for UNICEF in a nationwide challenge, where fundraising efforts will be matched dollar for dollar by the George Harrison Fund for UNICEF. Watch this special message from UNICEF Ambassador Alyssa Milano about the challenge.

The challenge launched on September 5, 2008 and will conclude on February 28, 2009 with the goal of raising $150,000. We are happy to announce that we currently have more than 20 universities and colleges registered to date, and we'll be unveiling a media outreach strategy this fall to continue recruiting participating campuses. To sign up your alma mater involved or to learn more, please visit the campus challenge site or email campuschallenge@unicefusa.org.
