Trick-or-Treat
for UNICEF. This annual event is very popular with younger children,
as it allows them to make a difference in the lives of children just like
themselves. Traditionally, orange trick-or-treat donation boxes
are given to children to take along when they go trick-or-treating on
Halloween. They collect change from each house to donate to UNICEF.
Our event will include the participation of local elementary schools,
but we will also take it to the college level. We will station orange
donation boxes in campus departments, as well as ask our friends and residence
hall members to donate their change.

International Dinner. Each year we have held this event,
it gets more and more successful. We hold a dinner in a local venue,
usually a church with a large cafeteria-type area. We plan this
event in coordination with the venue. This allows us to involve
the community in our fundraising efforts. We cook the food ourselves,
and since the members represent a diverse global population, this often
works out well, especially when we recruit our friends to help us! This
year we plan to enlist the help of local restaurants as well. We
have displays of UNICEF’s efforts set up in the room, and donation
boxes at each table. We make a short presentation at the beginning,
welcoming the guests and telling them a bit more about ourselves. We
also plan to have an auction to help raise money for UNICEF.

Greeting Card Sale. Each holiday season, UNICEF distributes
a line of greeting cards with an international and multi-religious
flair. This sale helps UNICEF earn money during the holidays, and
provides a unique type of gift, not available in stores. KU
UNICEF sells these cards each December before finals week, at a table in
the KS Union lobby, and in conjunction with the ECM Alternative Market Sale,
which deals primarily in fairly traded goods from around the world.
