What is UNICEF?

Unicef stands for United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund. For 70 years, across 190 countries and territories, UNICEF defends the rights of every child. In our school we hold an annual fundraiser called "Trick or Treat for UNICEF".

In the last couple of years, through our Interact Club with Trick or Treat for UNICEF, we have raised thousands of dollars to support children in need all over the world. Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF began 66 years ago as a way to help kids still affected by World War II. Since then, millions of children across the United States have gone door to door on Halloween with UNICEF collection boxes, calling out, "Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF!" The annual tradition of Kids Helping Kids® — involving donations big and small — has helped to raise more than $175 million since 1950.
