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 abut 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.

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!
